Hosting websites from Germany

I had all my websites up and running with pfSense in the States, I am living in Germany for the next 2 years and my internet provider will charge a huge amount of money for a static IP like I had in the states, I am not a business just a hobbyist posting pictures and a forum. can pfsense help with this issue, I'm sure my IP changes at some point in time also.

@kdmiller61 look up Dynamic DNS.

@kdmiller61
First of all ensure that you have a real public IP, not a CG-NAT.Dynamic public IPs usually persist for 24 hours max. But in this case you can go with dynamic DNS to access your servers, as mentioned. pfSense has pre-configured clients for many DDNS service providers included out of the box.

So you checked on that already? Or your assuming?
Is your IP actually changing? I have a dynamic IP, and its only changed once in years. And that was when the isp merged with another isp and redid all their address space.
Normally the way dhcp is suppose to work, is as long as you are renewing the IP it shouldn't change.. Only when you have not renewed and the lease expires could the lease be given to someone else.
