Oh great! One day before I do my huge migration they release a VM plan
which is probably better for me. Oh well, I'll wait a month or so and see
if there are performance stats on my A0 that will suggest if a B0 is
better, then I can change plans I guess -- *GK*

8-12 bucks US depending on Linux/Windows.

 It isn't NBN doing that, it is your ISP. Who are you wish?

 It isn't that much more - even Telstra only charge $10/month for a
 fixed IP. Mind you, I'm stuck on their special 'velocity' fibre network in
 South Brisbane area so anything else looks cheap to me.

Seem to recall if you're moving 'serious' stuff, you should set TTL really
short a bit before you actually do it.

 It looks like most NBN providers consider a fixed IP to be a "business"
 requirement and to get it they would shove you up to some business plan as
 an excuse to charge you a lot more for very little. Exetel seems to provide
 a free fixed IP for home accounts.

Folks, the wandering IP forced me to make the decision to get the last
domain off my server. I made an A0 $22/month Azure VM, copied up all my
files, configured IIS, installed the cert, set permissions, made users and
groups, got FTP working, got WCF working, changed the DNS, etc etc etc
until my fingers bled, but it seems to be working nicely now.

I was really worried for several hours because the site was visible from
some places (Bitbucket) but unresolved for others (BlogSpot), which didn't
make sense and I thought I'd stuffed something up. Then by last night it
all came good, which I suppose was caused by a delay in the DNS
propagating. I've noticed it usually takes about an hour for DNS changes to
propagate, but it was about 24 hours this time.

So I'm no longer hosting anything public. Thanks heavens!
