My VPS provider is running a promotion where I can get up to 5 additional public IPv4 addresses for a one-time cost of $25 each. I have always only used a single public IP address per VPS. Would there be any advantage of having additional public IP addresses?
I know some people do not consider a VPS self-hosting, but this is the most relevant community I could think of and the question is also applicable for homelabs as well.
You got a lot of relevant answers so I want to point out something else:
You’re hosting your own services. By yourself. Fuck everyone with a broom who tries to gatekeep that. And I don’t mean wooden side first.
Seriously, your question is on point here from my perspective and as long as it has a connection to running services by your own I personally would love more diversity in hosting solutions.
Personally, I’d love to see people share more about their provider agnostic opentofu deployment or someone who went all in on AWS lambdas for weird stuff.
