Are there any Pro/Cons of having a Static IP?
I have just signed up with freenetname and you can have one at no extra costs.
Any advice much appreciated.

I don't think there are any real benefits of having a static IP for a normal internet user, but then there are no cons either!
If it were me, I'd just say 'yes'.0 -
Having a static IP is better for hosting servers, since you can point a domain name at your IP and not have to worry about it chaning. However, most home users probably won't need to bother about this, so I wouldn't recommend paying extra for a static IP to most people
But if it's free, there's no reason not to!0
