I’ve been thinking about finally getting myself a proper domain for my server, but a friend told me that to get one I either need a VPS with a public ip (which just takes all the fun out of selfhosting) or purchase a static ip, which is beyond what I’m willing to spend for a hobby. Do I have any good options or should I just let it go?

Also, if this isn’t the correct community for this, I’d appreciate being pointed to the right one, thank you

      One of the better free options is FreeDNS, but you are limited to 5 records.

      If you want your own domain, I would suggest Porkbun. They have an API that can be used for dynamic DNS.
