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)

    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.
