     At Well Gedacht Publishing, we also had this issue with the ISP sharing an IP address with multiple households, and were able to get a dedicated IP—yet a dynamic one—after calling their customer service. Currently, our self-hosted websites and services run on our home server, without any VPS or another type of solution to the dynamic IP address problem. This means that once our ISP decides to change our IP address, for example if we restart our router, or the electricity goes out etc, our IP address changes too, and in that case, we would need to update the DNS records on our registrars ourselves; also meaning that our websites will be inaccessible, if we don't update the IP address on the DNS records, which is something we are OK with. Every once in a while, your websites might have some downtime, and if you are OK with this, you can even self-host with your dynamic IP address. There are also tools for monitoring the uptime of your sites, like [[https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma|this one]]. At Well Gedacht Publishing, we also had this issue with the ISP sharing an IP address with multiple households, and were able to get a dedicated IP—yet a dynamic one—after calling their customer service.
