Comment on ISP won't set up static IP - Services keep going down

If you’re in the US, anyone can set up a business bank account using your own SSN. It’s called sole proprietor. Toys just have to register for an EIN with the IRS. You might have some state procedures too. It’s generally not difficult to do this, especially if having a business ISP account is what you want.

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.
