An IP address is a logical address for the physical location of your computer. Every other computer in the Internet has to know how to read your host soley by your IP address. So you need a ISP to give you an routeable IP address. Those addresses can not be selled, like street names. Please ask your ISP (you call to read this comment) how to get a static address.
