You can register domains at places like noip or godaddy (search for those terms to find their web pages).

You will have to pay to keep the domain alive but "villagetinker.info" costs $15 a year.
Very interesting idea, I had not thought of that. I will check to see that they support a POP mail service, and this would be a great alternative.
