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

    i have a little program for dynamic dns running in docker that checks every few seconds for an IP change and swaps my DNS records if it gets rerolled.

    works well on my home network, I can use my domain for all my private services local and remote through wireguard :)
