Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I believe you only need to pay for a static IP. A dynamic IP would be the default option included, and should just work with a dynamic DNS service AFAIK. With a static IP, a dynamic DNS service should not be necessary.
Included in what? In a 0$ per month plan or in a x$ (x > 0) per month plan? If the plan is paid, you pay for what is included.
Of course you have to pay for internet service to get the included defaults necessary for it to work. Just like you get a bowl/container when ordering hot soup from a restaurant, and just like a phone number is usually included in the price of telephone service – except that a dynamic IP is somewhat analogous to sharing that phone number, or that bowl of soup, with other customers.
My point is that a static IP is often a paid add-on while the dynamic IP is the included default, since you wouldn't be able to use the internet service without some sort of IP address anyway.
we ran out of IPv4 address space a long fucking time ago, you are infinity more likely to have a static IP address now because you'll be behind a carrier grade NAT sharing it's IP. you don't really pay for a static IP anymore but the ability to directly address you're own network.
