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)

    Your local college might do networking courses/stuff. honestly though, there’s enough youtube content out there by really respected people that you can likely just get away with that… Start with words/topics you see mentioned in this thread. Example, search youtube for DDNS… and if that video says something you don’t understand search for that topic. Eventually you’ll have a decent grasp on what’s going on.
