I assume you're paying for a static IP from your ISP, or is there some other way you're routing traffic to the server?

Even without a static IP, it usually won't change that often. If it does change, then you can always update your DNS with the new IP automatically.

Quite often ISPs chuck you behind a NAT now which makes things harder.

I have never encountered this! I’m in the USA. Which ISPs?

Both is true.

My home connection has a static IP. But I'm using my old VPS with HAproxy (see my article) to either direct traffic to my solarPi or to my VPS if the Pi is down.

So in some way you could see that as 'cheating' but I discuss that in the blog.
