which is essentially the biggest ongoing expense for the server in my house (figure $25/month minimum; our bill is bigger because I have a block of 16 IPs at the moment and you really only need 1) and what was typically the biggest obstacle whenever I tried to encourage other people to run servers in their houses (admittedly it's been 10+ years since I last tried to do this).
Whether you can get it and whether you can get it without a whole lot of extra shit added on that you don't need will depend a lot on who your service provider is. Most residential providers are clueless about static IP. (theoretically, a bridged connection with a static IP is the simplest thing in the world but it's not what most people do, so it confuses them...)
