Hi, started self hosting quite a few things and would like a domain to use for when I’m out and about instead of having to remember what my IP is currently. What are the newest providers of services that can accomplish this?

https://freedns.afraid.org/ free, reliable and isn’t run for profit.
Each domain is run independently. Unfortunately, I have the worst luck in choosing them. The past 3 I’ve used have folded, and the one I’m on now (by an established operator) isn’t reliable. Most endpoints fail to resolve the subdomain DNS, instead returning the parent IP.
Obviously you should pick a domain that is run by josh (the guy that runs freedns.afraid.org) such as the mooo.com and you won’t have issues. https://freedns.afraid.org/domain/registry/
That was my line of thinking. However, my subdomain.chickenkiller.com frequently (but but universally) resolves to the IP of regular chickenkiller.com. I don’t believe it’s an issue with my config, since my previous domains (not run by josh) worked just fine until they folded.
I never had issues with josh domains, maybe contact him?
What makes you think he doesn’t make a profit on the paid for plans?
Oh I know he does, the project has almost 3x times the money in donations/premium features than what is required to run it. however it was never about making profit nor he will sell out to a bigger company and suddenly shutdown all free services. Actually I hope he continuous to make a profit and increase it because he deserves it.
Making a profit =/= running something for profit
Don’t know why you’re yelling at me, I just said he makes profit, specifically from me as I’ve used the service since it was only free.
Lol, they’re not? THIS WOULD BE YELLING AT YOU. This is me calmly explaining that “running for profit” and “running at a profit” isn’t the same thing.
Why you talking all middle volume at me, gaaaah!
Who’s yelling? I’m pointing out that one can make a profit without that necessarily being the goal.
