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)

    Don’t even need dynamic DNS. Just use ddclient to update your DNS record if your IP changes.

        Yes, but there used to be specific dynamic DNS providers or ones that advertised as that but you don’t specify need those now.
