I bought a domain name on godaddy.com let's call it www.website.com, but my server has a dynamic ip, how do I resolve this issue?

What I've tried:

get a dns account at dyndns.com let's call it dns.dyndns.com, so I set up godaddy to forward the domain to dns.dyndns.com.

problem: When the user goes to www.website.com, they see dns.dyndns.com in the url bar. Bad

So then I set up the forwarding on godaddy to forward with domain masking, but then the problem is now that users can't even see url paths/get queries/ or hash marks anymore!

`www.website.com/folder/search?id=4#ajax=4` becomes just

www.website.com in the url bar. bad!

What do I do?
