Comment on Duck DNS – free dynamic DNS hosted on AWS

Comments

one could just pay a small yearly fee to register their domain with google and get easy/unlimited ddns.

You can also host your zone with Hurricane Electric and skip the part about paying a small yearly fee to Google.

there's no cost to google besides the registration fee, if it's your zone, you're paying that fee anyways. The only way to not pay a fee is to go through a free dyndns provider that you have to use a hostname off of their zone.

Is the DNS free, even if you use other registrar than Google?

I have some domains with country-specific tlds, and I'm using small registrars there. he.net is free even in this case.

I don't believe this solves the issue if your IP changes all the time.

Why not? As OP said you'll get an easy way to update the dns entry with the new IP.
