Hey! So yeah, you can purchase a static ip address, but it depends on your ISP. Some offer it as an add-on for like $10-$15/month. Mine (Spectrum) charges $15, which is kinda steep, but it’s been rock-solid for my Plex server.
If your ISP doesn’t offer one, check out services like NordVPN’s dedicated IP or even AWS if you’re tech-savvy. DDNS is a decent workaround, but if you need reliability, static is the way to go.
Btw, avoid those sketchy "lifetime IP" deals—they’re usually scams.
