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

I pay an extra £1 a month to my ISP to get a static address. Figured it's well worth having no hassle.

I just have a cron script running on a machine that does something like this every 10 seconds

C_IP=`dig +short my.domain`
IP=`curl https://api.ipify.org`
if(C_IP != IP) {
    updateRoute53(IP)
}

This is just for my main home server. Gets the job done because if it's out of date for a few seconds nothing matters.

Before, I used to use duckdns. Completely free and super simple
Nowadays I just have a docker container that updates my A records on my domain directly through namesilo's API. Took like 5 mins to set up the config

I'm still using noip.com. There may be better/cheaper options these days, but this has worked well for me for years, and I don't see the need to change.

~~AdGuard! They even have installable profiles for Apple devices, so I get ad blocking even on mobile!~~

mb, DDNS. nvm

OP is asking about DDNS instead of DNS. They want a fixed address to their ever changing IP address.
