Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address?

I selfhost my blog without a static IP. You just need Dynamic DNS.
Keep in mind that your outbound bandwidth might be different from your inbound. I get 300mbps in, but only 5mbps out. It’s not noticeable during normal Internet use, but as you start sharing content publicly, limited bandwidth becomes really noticeable.

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

That’s called dynamic DNS (it’s the dd in ddclient).

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