Thanks to you both. I'll look into it.

You can buy a computer that is 1000x more powerful than a droplet for a fraction of the ownership cost, especially if you only get occasional visitors.

I'm excited by the idea of completely decentralized hosting; now we just need decentralized payments - that take USD.

Sorry if I'm not getting something, but wouldn't dynamic dns help in your instance?

You mean like No-IP? I used that to SSH into my own servers for a while, but I found it to not be 100% reliable.

So your IP changes and your DNS entries are all invalid across the www until they TTL. And then you're back online.

Doesn't sound very useful for hosting anything public.
