I basically had a static IP with Cablevision before I had this one setup (since I almost never rebooted my server), but then they started blocking port 25 and 80 anyway, which killed any real use outside of remote connections. It all depends on what area we move into. I'd certainly like to keep my local server, but I know things will probably change.
