options to redirect through static IP?

[Todd Cole]

I use cox with a dynamic IP you can use dyndns or noip or many others for
hostname that forwards to your dynamic IP. Most routers hardware or
software have a built in client to update dyndns/.........
you still cannot use port 80 but i just use one of the others like port 81
if you even need a webserver   and ssh will work fine  (port22) tho I like
to move it elseware  vpn works great with no need to locate the ip
dyndns in mo longer free but $35. for 30 subdomain names and redirects is
cheap noip I think is still free Todd
Residential=faster speeds cheaper
Business=static ip slower but no caps
