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)

    chance you take with pretty much everything you don’t control. I do use as much as I can to protect emails (not that much really)

      Well yes… but if you’re goal to self-host is to control your data, it’s a bit counter productive to use those relays services that inject that problem right back into your setup again.

      Edit: I’m not necessarily arguing… just putting the information out there that the services exist, but might not be a good fit.
