[QUESTION] Static IP vs Dynamic DNS? (lemmy.ml)

I'm trying to self-host some stuff on my Raspberry Pi (i.e. web server, lightweight matrix server, etc) and every time I get around to try and set it up I forget that I have to do this lol

Do you guys recommend going full send and contacting my ISP about a static IP or should I just pay for a Dynamic DNS service?

I self-host a bunch of stuff and don't bother paying for a static IP.

I just have a cron job running that checks my IP and then uses API calls to update my DNS settings. I've got the DNS setup with Zonomi which are a local company, it costs maybe a couple dollars a month & i've got 8-10 domains running at any one time.
