What's the difference between static and dynamic IP addresses?

A static IP address is a fixed address assigned to a computer or other device by an Internet service provider (ISP). It does not change and is used to provide the same address every time a device connects to the internet. A dynamic IP address is an address that is assigned to a device by the ISP when it connects to the internet. It changes each time the device connects, so the address is different each time.
