I have set-up a server, the IP doesnt stay the same... how do I keep our .com pointed at our computer?

Go to www.zoneedit.com
Sign up and download one of their daemons.
They will give you dynamic DNS support for 5 years, free, complete with free subdomains and mail forwarding. You'll need to reset your DNS panel with your domain name provider.
That should be fine if you are not behind a router.

If you are behind a router:
Dial into your router (probably 192.168.1.1) and configure it so that incoming WAN requests are re-directed to your computer's LAN IP number (e.g. 192.168.x.x)

What kind of machine are you running it on? I just set up my own server on an OSX box running in my study.
