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)

But getting a static address for your VPS is likely much easier than getting it from certain ISPs.

For instance, Quantum Fiber doesn't support static IPs at all... But most VPSes can and do.
