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)

    I was going to use Cloudflare to sort this, but I’m uncomfortable how big they are getting / lack of competition in that part of the market. So we looked at Pangolin as an alternative, but it’s a faff to self host.

    Hence why we’re back at exposing it straight out the back of Nginx Proxy Manager.

      I get that… fo me though as I have been using Cloudflare for many years I can’t see any reason to change yet. That of course may change
