No way. Having your own static IP can get very expensive. Dyndns is a horrific pita. Fiddling with routers is annoying. No serious developer is judged by a client on any of these things. And none I have ever worked with as an indie developer (like an $8 billion/yr company who depends on software I built every day) would ever care or even ask about any of those things. One's professionalism is not determined by these things. I made a lot of money as a serious developer without any client caring or knowing if I had a domain, static IP, etc. But I made stuff work, and that's all that ever matters.
- maratd 16y agoI get a block of 8 static IPs included with my service. Then again, I have an office and it's a business class connection. I pay $75 per month and get 25 down / 5 up.
- bobwaycott 16y agoI have 0 static IPs (that I am aware of) included with my service. Then again, I have a residential line and it's a fiber optic connection. I'm a bit cheap, so I pay $70 per month and get 50 down / 50 up. :)
