Folks, the wandering IP forced me to make the decision to get the last domain off my server. I made an A0 $22/month Azure VM, copied up all my files, configured IIS, installed the cert, set permissions, made users and groups, got FTP working, got WCF working, changed the DNS, etc etc etc until my fingers bled, but it seems to be working nicely now.
I was really worried for several hours because the site was visible from some places (Bitbucket) but unresolved for others (BlogSpot), which didn't make sense and I thought I'd stuffed something up. Then by last night it all came good, which I suppose was caused by a delay in the DNS propagating. I've noticed it usually takes about an hour for DNS changes to propagate, but it was about 24 hours this time. So I'm no longer hosting anything public.
