I'm hosting a small website on a cloud provider, and since the project is just starting out, the elastic IP (EIP) cost feels a bit steep. Instead of locking in a static IP, I'm considering leaving it dynamic and managing IP changes automatically with a DNS solution (e.g., Cloudflare, Route53). Does that make sense, or could it cause serious issues down the line? What’s your take on this, buddy?
Should cloud server IPs be fixed?

Thanks for the post. In a similar situation, I’d also handle it via DNS—lower the TTL and directly minimize IP changes.
