Not everyone has a static ip. Most ISPs prohibit dedicated hosting on a private contract. Email from dynamic address is usually blocked and rightly so. Mixing business with private service is not a good idea. Throughput at home is usually way less and so is reliability.

DynDns can help overcome the static IP barrier. I've used this some years ago but can't vouch for its functionality today.

They ceased their free service in 2014 and were acquired by Oracle in 2016[0]. Since then I have used DuckDNS[1] instead and it has worked well for me.
