I’ve been using Hetzner for some time, but now I want to host everything myself at home.

DNS was easy with Hetzner, just point the domain to Hetzner’s nameservers, and from there to my server.

How are people doing this for home servers? When there’s not access to something like Hetzner’s nameservers.

Is there a free/cheap nameserver I can use to point at my home server’s IP?

    For my dyn IP at home and selfhosted stuff I use cloudflare ddns because my router was too annoying at some point.
    Well enough documented on how to set it up.

    For the DNS entries on my domain:
    selfhost domain: Cloudflare
    E-Mail domain: IONOS.

    For at home:
    I tried to use OPNsense + unbound but had some issues getting the closer DNS servers from google and got further away ones.
    Right now I use piHole with Google, CF and some other DNS provider.
