Depends what you want it for. If you want to run a web site and do not intend to generate transactions then a "fake permanent" (sometimes called masquerading) IP could work dor you -- but this means your IP address is a moving one and any business with a modicum of security will know the moment they check you out. You cannot successfully use masquerading to establish a successful business web site. But it might be great for home use. Personally I would shop around and look for a better deal .. I mean an extra charge of $25 a month is, I agree, ridiculous. You could probably get a hosting deal for that kind of money!!! My two pennorth david -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.
