      Is there a recommendation for the best domain provider for Cloudron for a server with non-static (i.e dynamic) IP?

      e.g. Namecheap offers dynamic DNS update but requires an API key which you only get depositing USD 50 and whitelisting a specifig server IP - which in my case is not static...

      Does anyone have a recommendation?

        @necrevistonnezr I use gandu via their liveDNS api and it works flawlessly. Have used it for 10+ domains.
        Good luck!

              No, I'm looking for a my own domain with this feature... I currently use the provider www.do.de which works ok but not great.

                @necrevistonnezr yep! hosting my cloudron from home, never seen disruption. Also a friend in jolly ole england is doing the same with similar results.

                  @necrevistonnezr Digital ocean can hold your DNS for you. You can even use their API to update DNS records when needed.

                      @necrevistonnezr You can use any of Cloudron supported DNS providers - cloudflare, gandi, etc. Have you seen https://cloudron.io/documentation/networking/#dynamic-dns ? Once you enable that option, Cloudron will automatically detect IP change and update your DNS. I use DigitalOcean DNS for my Cloudron which is hosted at home and dynamic DNS.

                        Namecheap

                        While I experienced for few years hosting docker at home with 3-5 top domains and 30-50 subdomain, I was using ddclient.

                        I don't know if they finally upgraded they API but few months ago (+/-18) they NameCheap API was painful and not always making the update. This is how I discovered Cloudflare. If you are not too concern about your privacy Cloudflare works very great.

                          Thanks for the tips - actually, here's a pretty good tutorial on Namecheap / ddclient: https://samhobbs.co.uk/2015/01/dynamic-dns-ddclient-raspberry-pi-and-ubuntu

                            here my script and my template config

                            but I'm curious, why looking for another solution ?

                                    For the DynDNS, Namecheap provide a password by domain
                                    b4f8894b-346e-4204-a837-91ddbecf18ce-image.png

                                    But yes Cloudron use the API

                                    maybe you could run https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-ddclient
