I've no idea about the US (or other countries), but here in the UK, most ISPs will be happy to sell you either 1 static IP address (as you seem to have here), or the next step up, a block of 8 IP addresses.

With my ISP, they charge £2 / month for 1 static IP, £5 / month for 8 IP addresses. Call your ISP, see what they offer. Consider switching if this is important to you. With my (UK) ISP, static IP address services are only available on business broadband services - for residential services, it is a single dynamic IP address only - upgrade to business class if you want static IPs.

good luck,

dave.
