If you are not hosting a site then count your savings.
I don't know much about this but I know I have a Static IP address from AT&T (Pacbell). I was one of the first Pacbell DSL customers in the North Bay and for years now I've had the same Static IP. I now pay about $46.00 a month including taxes and all the other charges they tack on.
Lately I've thought about purchasing a bundle from AT&T for cable, cell, landline and DSL. I know I'll loose the Static IP when I do that but I want to know if it even matters. I've been told that some people lease their Static IP but I don't know how to do that. Also, I've heard that I could do some sort of web hosting but again, don't know how to do that either.
Any good advice out there? Should I hold onto this or cough it up.
Thanks in advance.
