DHCP vs Static IP – What’s the Difference?

🔹 DHCP (Dynamic IP):

■ Automatic assignment
■ Changes when device reconnects
■ Easy to manage, reduces conflicts

👉 Best for: Home networks, offices, guest devices

🔹 Static IP:

■ Manually assigned & fixed
■ Stays the same always
■ Reliable for hosting & remote access

👉 Best for: Servers, printers, websites

🔹Simple Example:

👉DHCP = Hotel room 🏨 (changes each stay)

👉Static IP = Your house 🏠 (permanent address)
