Well I have static IPs and redundant networks, but that's because I run stuff commercially. But there are many ways around it, I ran with a dynamic IP for a long time. My IPS rarely released it, maybe once every few years so it wasn't a show stopper when I woke up to a brief outage because my IP changed. - dynamic dns as a service exists, - most dns services have APIs and there are many integrations with free/oss software you can run to update your dns - you can purchase a private or shared server from a cloud provider (many of them for added redundancy) and use ssh or vpn tunnels In my case, the service is commercial, but the location is residential, so I use cloud servers in a few datacenters to spread out the likelihood of failure. If you do an nslookup on www.vaughnnugent.com you'll see 2 IP addresses, one US east coast, one US west. In my experience, when a cloud server provider goes down, it rarely takes down their entire network. It's higher level services (like cloudflare) where the complexity is increased where outages like this often happen. If you had any more specific questions id be happy to answer them.
