[TriLUG] Looking for linux friendly web hosting

[shay walters via TriLUG]

I am presently in a location with Spectrum cable internet, but I'm getting
ready to move to a rural area where the only option for wired internet is
the local phone co (Comporium) DSL at 1.5 Mbs speed.   I am presently using
a visible.com over-the-air internet at that location.   It's OK, and
certainly a better speed than the wired option, but with visible.com, I
don't have the option (AFAIK) of having an incoming connection, so I have a
Linode $5/mo shared plan for things that I need to be able to access from
outside.
    I am interested in the StarLink internet when (if) it becomes
available, but I'm curious if anyone here knows whether that will provide a
fixed IP address that can be utilized for incoming connections.   I'd be
fine with one that wasn't "fixed" long-term, but that was fixed short-term
- much like normal DSL or cable internet, where you could use a service
like DYNDNS.
