hi everyone,
I was just about to self-host a Ghost blog but then was warned that my ISP might change my external IP address at any time, so I would need to pay for a static IP address.
Is that true?
(I’d not seen much about that in stuff I’ve looked up so far about self hosting)
That has it’s own name… CG-NAT. Thus why people are responding to you as if you’re wrong. As you wrote it you are wrong though. But there’s still answers like argo tunnels (if you are okay with cloudflare) and other similar solutions.
Or you can setup a vps and tunnel through that.
Oh, I see. Sorry I was too dumb to research that term for the comment.
But then the VPS needs a static address.
But getting a static address for your VPS is likely much easier than getting it from certain ISPs.
For instance, Quantum Fiber doesn’t support static IPs at all… But most VPSes can and do.
