Static IP vs dynamic IP:
Dynamic = your ISP can change the address over time.
Static = the address is intended to stay the same.
A dynamic IP may change after:
• reconnecting
• router restart
• lease renewal
• ISP maintenance
Static IPs are useful for remote access, servers, monitoring, and allowlists.
Important: static ≠ dedicated.
Static means consistent.
Dedicated means assigned only to you.
