ISPs have made it really expensive to get a static IP. I maintained a commercial connection for way to many years because I would remote into my home systems.

- zozbot234 7y agoThat's not ISPs' doing, it's the natural outcome of IP address exhaustion. BTW, there are ways to "remote into" your home systems even if you don't have a static IP. You can even make it work if your home systems aren't directly accessible due to NAT.
- paulhodge 7y agoZerotier is an awesome tool for this.
- lostmsu 7y agoAs long as it is not behind NAT, most DNS providers would let you easily change it via an API call.
- ajayyy 7y agoNot true in Canada
- boomlinde 7y agoThat depends on the market where you are, I suppose. My home ISP offers static addresses as an add-on for a cost comparable to a cheap VPS. With my last ISP there was no static address offer, but the address was the same for years. You can use dyndns-like services for the worst case, then.
