A static IP is recommended but there are services around that will track your connection IP and simulate a static IP. They aren't very fast in my experience. (very limited experience with them). Also, you will need a reliable high speed connection to the Internet, depending on what you want to serve. if you have only text html pages not all that fast will suffice. If you want to serve a lot of pictures, then you will need something faster than the usual ADSL of 1.5 Mb down and 132 kb up. But before you do this, think about the security issues. You will at the least need a firewall, preferably not the software firewall in your workstation, and probably a router to handle your workstation separately from your server. These two functions don't coexist too well. Also, think about your content. As soon as you put it on the Internet you have copyright issues. Do you own the rights to the content? Can you maintain it? Are you sure that what you say is correct? I could go on for pages! But you are off topic for this discussion group.
