If you're that strapped for cash, why not get your broadband provider
to give you a fixed IP address and move the site to a server running
from home.  Unless you are shoving out massive amounts of data per page,
it will be more than adequate.

You have full control of the server and should be able to lock it down
pretty tightly.

If yuor broadband provider won't, move to another one that will.
