Moving..stay with DSL, go cable?

Ok, I have a dilemma. I currently live in Quincy, where I have Telocity DSL,
a linux server and a registered hostname 'morinfamily.com' where I get all
of my (and my wife's) email.

I'm moving shortly (within the month) to North Andover.  I figure I have
at least two options:

1) Stay with DSL, and try to get them to just move the whole thing to my new
address.  Problems : seems like everyone these days is saying DSL is dying, 
maybe I should bail when I have the chance?

2) Go to ATT cable modem.  Benefit : cheaper than DSL.  Problem : No static IP 
offered.

I wouldn't mind the #2 route but I what do I do with my domain name?  Are 
there hosting services out there where I can say "Hey, I'll redirect 
morinfamily.com to you, you host my website, and forward any email on to me?"  
What do such
services cost?  Any other ideas?

Duane
