Depends what you want it for. If you want to run a web site and do not intend 
to generate transactions then a "fake permanent" (sometimes called 
masquerading)  IP could work dor you -- but this means your IP address is a 
moving one and any business with a modicum of security will know the moment 
they check you out.  

You cannot successfully use masquerading to establish a successful business 
web site. But it might be great for home use. Personally I would shop around 
and look for a better deal .. I mean an extra charge of $25 a month is, I 
agree, ridiculous. You could probably get a hosting deal for that kind of 
money!!!
