I would like to host my own web server with a domain name I purchased but my public IP isn't static.

I used duckdns for my jellyfin server, but after a week or so I started getting malicious site warnings from Firefox, and had to ‘accept the risk and continue’ every time. Ended up going back to noip. It’s a pain to renew every month, but I haven’t had any other problems with it.

I use noip as well, but because I only have an IP camera on that network, and the camera has built-in DDNS support for noip. But I hate it having to renew monthly.

What do you mean renew every month?

[–] nieceandtows@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

You need to confirm each month that you’re still using that url if you’re in free tier. Otherwise it won’t be registered to you
