# Tips for deploying Matrix on a Budget

## Dynamic DNS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most cloud providers / ISPs will charge you extra for a static IP address. If you're
|
||
|
|
not hosting a highly reliable homeserver you can workaround this via dynamic DNS. To
|
||
|
|
set this up, you'll need to get the username/password from your DNS provider. For
|
||
|
|
google domains, this process is described [here](https://support.google.com/domains/answer/6147083).
|
||
|
|
After you've gotten the proper credentials you can add the following config to your `host-vars`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
matrix_dynamic_dns_username: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
|
||
|
|
matrix_dynamic_dns_password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
|
||
|
|
matrix_dynamic_dns_provider: 'domains.google.com'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
