Hi guys!

Just that…would you recommend any decent free Dynamic domain that is well regarded privacy-wise?

DuckDNS is becoming rather unreliable and prone to failure.

Thanks!

    Just yesterday I rented a tld for 2€/year and got it to update via my router’s ddns feature using deSEC. Other similar services are available and I think that many domain rental services even offer their own ddns-like update routes.
    All in all it wasn’t that difficult, really. And imo an own tld is much nicer than having to rely on some subdomain of a ddns service.
    So far (and yes, that is after less than one day) I definitely do recommend this.

        1.111B class .xyz domain costs some 1 EUR per year. You’re limited to <6-9 digits>.xyz format (e.g. 012345.xyz) but if that doesn’t matter for your use case then this is the cheapest solution. You can get these via Porkbun, etc.

        It wasn’t even the cheapest I could get. I rented a .de-domain from dogado.de, because I have made very good experiences with their customer services in the past.
