Connecting to my Home Server using socket programming

I'm writing an Android app for home automation wherein the app connects to my home PC via sockets so that I can control various home appliances on the move. My question is how do I make my home dynamic IP static and accessible to other devices on the internet so that I can make this connection. Thanks! :)

Try a free dynamic DNS service such as No-IP. The basic idea is that you install an application on your server that keeps your IP address up-to-date on No-IP, so they can maintain a DNS record that points to your server. It'll give you a subdomain, not a second-level domain, but that should be Good Enough.
