I'd recommend getting a router that does NAT for you, that way you can have one publicly routable IP address, but literally thousands (depending on the router you get and what "fake" network it uses) of internal IP addresses for your machines only.

You can then set up in the routher that requests on port 80 go to 192.168.0.43 but requests for port 25 go to 192.168.0.87. Or however your network is set up.

And as far as the ISP is concerned, you have one publicly facing machine (the router). No need to pay them extra for you having more than one computer, because they don't provide anything extra to you (except it sounds like they may be giving you an extra IP which would most likely be overkill for you).
