  Most ISPs charge insane fees for static IPs (like 4-5x the monthly rate of dynamic IP accounts), so while this is an option, it’s a relatively expensive one.

    It’s not worth it unless you’re trying to run something like an email server or a name server. Most things work just fine with dynamic DNS. A few minutes of downtime on a personal site when the IP address changes is not a big deal.

  Not in the US, at work we pay 6 times the rate I pay at home for 1/6 the speed I get at home, everyone hates our office internet speed 😂, at least it’s static do we can host stuff
