And, with all that said and posted, here's what I'd recommend:
If you're just going to play around a few times to test the capabilities and learn about things, then don't worry about STATIC vs DYNAMIC stuff. Set it up, make the few changes needed, get used to your router and interacting with it, and just swap those addresses as needed.
IF you're going to be using the same program repeatedly, however, and you don't want to have to jump through an endless set of hoops, call up your ISP and tell them to swap you over to a STATIC address. Mine costs me an extra $5.00 per month, and it's worth that little amount extra, just to save me the headache and trouble of having to change numbers after each reboot or update.
As for the local setting for your PC, those you can configure yourself for no extra cost or anything. It just takes a little time to tell Windows (or Linux/Mac as your device dictates) to always connect this computer as 10.243.1.77 (or whatever you specifically want it to be.)
Serious web hosting should be done across static connections. It'll save you a ton of troubleshooting, compared to having to always redo your dynamic setup with each run of the software/reboot of the system.
EDIT: https://www.onmsft.com/how-to/how-and-wh...windows-10 <-- Link to configuring windows to use a STATIC IP locally for your PC/laptop, so it doesn't change with each reboot. (Step 2 with port forwarding that I addressed; not step 1 -- find your internet address. This is for a static local address. You'll need your ISP to give you a static web address.)
