Seeking a static Public IP

Icantpickaname — Sun, 01 Jun 2025 02:02:52 GMT

Hi all,

I'm hoping somebody here can help. I'm seeking a static IP for self-hosting, but cannot find a way to do so using my online account. I've read it requires a one time £5 charge and asking on here. So here I am to request with £5 ready (Not in hand haha). I tried to follow links to enable it in my account but the option is not present.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Static IPs are no longer available.

Plusnet no longer offer static IPs - customers that already have them can keep them, but no new static IPs are being allocated.

You may be able to achieve what you want using a dyndns service - which provides a domain name for your dynamic IP address, and updates whenever your dynamic IP changes.

Alternatively you could use a L2TP tunnel such as provided by AAISP to gain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that are independent of your ISP - which is what I use.

Yes. I use:

But it depends on what @Icantpickaname wants to achieve.
