Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS is a way of updating name records for a public DNS. Paid solutions usually offer real-time updates and free services have a minimum time before the change is published.
I have been using the paid service by NO-IP, which is fairly priced for the features it provides. It also offers free domains and services. It also provides clients for many operating systems, including a Raspbian Linux-compatible client. You may use any service you like as the protocol is the same for everybody.
Installing a client
I have a premium account registered with NO-IP. I allocated a subdomain called pi.kula.solutions. It automatically detected my public IP and set the record of the domain accordingly.
