Static IP for an extra 10$/mo a good deal?

Go to solution Solved by tom564,

10$ extra a month is not worth it for home use IMO although 20$ for 5 addresses i would consider if you host servers.  i would just stick with a dynamic address and go with a dynDNS service such as no-ip

You can get 1 Static IP for 10$ extra a month or 5 Static IP's for 20$ extra

 

 

Is it worth the 10$/20$ for a fixed address?

It's only good if your accessing that IP commonly from outside of your router. Say like a home server or a work server being accessed.

Last I checked, having a static IP is worse than a dynamic.

 

How?

Remote desktop will utilise it better, as game servers are most of the time designed around dynamic IPs.

The question is, why do you need a static IP? What exactly are you hosting? And how often does your IP change? 

I have a dynamic IP and it only changes if I purposely leave the router turned off over night. Even when hosting servers I've never had any problems.

I wouldnt like most of the people here said Static is if you do alot of remote connections to your home. Mainly for business or if you're a really techy person that needs stuff from home all the time, just stay with what you have.

even then i would just stick with a dynDNS service unless it is some obscure program that doesn't work with domain names. But then i would just nslookup and manually change it.

No it is not. Dynamic is better for home purposes even when you access your home computer remotely you can just use something like Teamviewer...

so you're saying that even if my IP changes each time I reset my router it's still easy enough to get my IP? what if I reset my router again?

Well then it is lost and you have to obtain it again each time it is changed. Every time you open a forum page someone can see the IP addresses of most of the readers.
