[QUESTION] Static IP vs Dynamic DNS? (lemmy.ml)

I'm trying to self-host some stuff on my Raspberry Pi (i.e. web server, lightweight matrix server, etc) and every time I get around to try and set it up I forget that I have to do this lol

Do you guys recommend going full send and contacting my ISP about a static IP or should I just pay for a Dynamic DNS service?

Just use Dynamic DNS. Still cheaper than static IP

Dynamic DNS is free generally, for example if you put your domain on Cloudflare or another DNS host with an API that is supported you can just update the A records automatically on IP change.
