  Is there any way to not rent anything at all?

  I have my own physical server, renting a domain is optional, but renting an IP is mandatory afaik, or are there some ways to get it on the internet for free or by paying only once?

    There are free dynamic DNS services so you don’t need to pay for a static ip. I like noip.com.

      You can also just run something like Cloudflare-DDNS to automatically update your IP directly with cloudflare. If a domain registrar already manages your domain, there’s little reason to rely on a third-party service for DDNS.

      By “renting an IP” I mean paying a monthly subscription so that your internet service provider gives your home (which has your server) an IP so it is accessible through the intetnet. It doesn’t matter whether that IP is static or dynamic, as you said there are free dynamic dns services.

        I believe you only need to pay for a static IP. A dynamic IP would be the default option included, and should just work with a dynamic DNS service AFAIK. With a static IP, a dynamic DNS service should not be necessary.

        Many ISPs give you a publicly accessible IP address, and paying extra just reserves one IP instead of having it change periodically. If your ISP doesn’t do that (i.e. you’re stuck behind CGNAT like me), you’ll need to pay for one in some fashion.
