I've been using Duck DNS happily for years but it's been down more than up for the last month for me and I think it's time to switch.

FreeDNS works well if you don't have your own domain. You're limited to 5 records though.

If you have a domain, many registrars have an API that can be used for dynamic DNS.

Yep, they're who I used after DuckDNS, can recommend. More stable and faster than DuckDNS in my experience! I've since moved to Porkbun for my own domain, and their API is well-supported by various dynamic DNS tools.
