I’ve heard many people complain about DuckDNS. Personally use desec.io for DDNS and it’s been solid.

I switched to cloud flare because of the downtime duckdns has. Sometimes it can get really bad.

Same. Been rock solid.

I used to rely heavily on duckdns and it was great for a time, but moved off them a couple of years ago because resolution became inconsistent. I’ve since rolled my own ddns using a script that utilizes Porkbun.com’s DNS record API.

No-ip.

I’ve been using them for about 15 years now. Started when I self hosted at home with the free service and even though I moved to a VPS I still use them ($32 USD / year, dedicated TLD, dedicated IP). I can add redirects, temp static landing page, etc etc.

I’ve had a SINGLE outage of their service in that time.

They also have free services as well, dynIP clients for Win & Lin, and their shit works. Most DD-WRT / OpenWRT images also support it.

buy a cheap domain and use afraid services, freedns.afraid.org, or ydns, ydns.io, with free license is a good and cheap solution.

DuckDNS pretty often has problems and fails to propagate properly. It’s not very good, especially with frequent IP changes.

What’s a better option these days? I’d be interested in trying to get rid of duckdns

Buying a domain. There might be some free services that, similar to DuckDNS in the beginning, work reliably for now. But IMHO they are not worth the potential headaches.

I have a domain… but I think DynDNS is not always available for every domain or by every domain seller?

Registrars (or DNS providers if you don’t use the one that comes with your registrar) worth using have an API to manage DNS entries. That’s basically all there is to DynDNS.

In my case, there is no IP change. However, the TTL of entries seems to be 60 seconds and when Cloudfare/Google asks for the new A record, it sometimes fails. I am getting this error message from Cloudfare when I try to solve host.sub-domain.duckdns.org
