A static IP will simplify your life if you are using a Synology NAS for Web Hosting or for Video Surveillance (cameras). A Static IP will never change if you restart your router/modem. A dynamic IP will change everytime you restart your router/modem. With a static IP you can benefit from an online server without having to worry about updating your IP. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t use a dynamic IP for your Synology NAS and web server. You can. It’s just that there are more settings to configure. In the article below I will tell you which ISPs currently offer a Static IP in the United Kingdom.
