Tnx for quick response. I would like to confirm as below: You said that: "You don't want to buy a domain (or at least not in the first place). The thing you need is a static IP address, first, and that's not being 'sold' by a domain reseller / registrar." If I don't buy a domain being 'sold' by a domain reseller, so how can I obtain a static IP address? Looking foward to hear from you.
