Now, that is not entirely accurate. Hosting a site on a dynamic IP is not a problem at all. There are even a number of DNS Service Providers who will host your domain for you(The one that i Personally use is DynDNS, both the free x.dyndns.org zones and the paid x.com zones).
good to know - but what happens when you get a blacklisted IP from triband. I dont know about triband, but a good proportion of BSNL dynamic IPs are blacklisted.
Just to add an warning, Triband charges are with limit on the data-throughput that you will be allowed. eg. if you are on 199 plan, you are allowed 400MB data transfer free of cost. After that you pay Rs. 1.20 per MB.
n http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/triband/htm/tariff.htm I see no references to data transfer, just data download limits.
If you are hosting a website and it gets good traffic, each
Then page hits are uploads from your server(s), aren't they?
person coming to the site is costing you money, as the webserver will serve the page and Triband will count it as data transfer. If the site is heavy, with lots of pictures, etc, the cost goes up.
Am I missing out on something?
