Getting a static IP has become a kind of a status symbol, my friends are paying extra bucks to ISPs so during parties they can be like `Hey Yo, Ping me at 27.49.36.16 , it's static!` :/

Yeah, it's quite trendy, perfect to socialize with others.
Last time, I ping'd someone at 127.0.0.1 and he... oh...

i only have a static because home business and home servers. but mostly static is nice is half your client have restricted ip access on their servers

@DarkMukke I have a dynamic ip address, but I can set a dyndns provider in my router. You can also specify custom dyndns services besides noip or dyndns and some others. I made a php script, that uses cloudflare api, to update a dns record if the router accesses that file.

Why should I use noip if I can have something like home.example.com?

Nailed it.

why make it so difficult if my ISP provides me with 1 for free ?

"ping me" the only known hookup line that works only (and exclusively) between nerds/geeks

@raven and robots

@DarkMukke :/

@KuroTenshi67 and he pinged you back ;) , BTW 127.0.0.1 is oddly satisfying for me!
