I was looking around for a few solutions, but im sure there is someone else who has done this before. I read you can order an IP from these companies then just change your DNS settings, but i have no clue and they have no support.

Why do I need the static IP? because a client that I have, they only whitelist IP addresses to access their server to pull reports and stats from. Also, when Im on the road, would be nice to access my NAS drive that has files instead of always having to back it up to a portable HDD drive.
The whitelist by ip is one thing. you can access your nas without the static with any remote software like gotomypc.
