Some ISP's will offer a static IP address for a fix fee per month. Most UK ISP's will charge about £1.99 - £3.99 for one if they offer them.

certain router's can obtain a sticky IP address. They do this by requesting the same IP address when the lease expires. However, the IP address may change at any time, hence the name sticky.

i see , i think my isp is using sticky ips at present. With chance of change soon to static, which should be good.
Cost could be interestin though. |

That's not certain routers, that's just the way that DHCP works. |

Not necessarily, my last router had DHCP, but when the IP lease expired, it would use any IP address offered.

Again, that is down to how your ISP has their DHCP server configured, and the way that DHCP requests and acknowledgements work. If you happen to repeatedly get the same IP and do not have a true static IP, it's down to DHCP server configuration, not any magic you can do with your router. |

| Although, if dynamic Ip changing is a problem to you, you could always get the no-ip client. Every time your IP changes, it will foward your website sub-domain, that no-ip.com gives you, to your changed IP address. I use this free service with my Abyss Web Server X1, and have only had problems with the internet shortcuts it provided. |
