Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? (lemmy.ml)

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)

"works fine" as in you can pretend it works, but you will get filtered by any larger email provider.

Dynamic IPs are filtered out, even on my server. This is done by using scores provided by Spamhaus. The majority of connects from such IPs are botnets.

You can run a private server on your dynamic IP. It should not connect to public servers though.
