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)

I never had an issue doing VoIP on a dynamic IP.

    Then you have a SIP trunk provider that doesn't validate domain ownership... I'd like to know that companies name if you don't mind sharing. They're stupidly rare to the point that I view it as a unicorn situation.

    Edit: To clarify, I've tried finding such providers and failed for several years... They all want PTR validation for "security"
