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 run an smtp relay exactly for that kind of stuff with emails. Clients still like wordpress and this is easy to use, many other will accept an smtp relay/service like say gmail (the first one I could think of)

        chance you take with pretty much everything you don’t control. I do use as much as I can to protect emails (not that much really)
