I would like to host my own web server with a domain name I purchased but my public IP isn't static.

Does your domain provider have a DDNS service? I buy my domains from namecheap.com and use their DDNS service for exactly what you're describing.

    I have NameCheap as well. I found their Windows client after I made this post. I'm still curious is there are better services out there. It seems Cloudflare may have the best tools for security for a webserver, i.e. hiding the real IP address.

    Cloudflare has a lot of great tools and provides service to most of the internet. Some folks don't like how much of internet traffic is routed though Cloudflare... sort of like Google and if that's not a bother then it may be a good choice.
