Hey yโ€™all, Iโ€™ve been using my.freenom as my domain registrar for the past six years without too many issues. Iโ€™ve kept it mainly because it has been cheap as balls. However, I am now looking for a registrar that supports dynamic dns and would love to hear your suggestions. The first results that pop up are google and godaddy which are not what Iโ€™m looking for. (I actually had issues with godaddy stealing domain names all the way back in 2010, but thatโ€™s another story) A local community reference is worth a lot more to me than a top search result.

The plan is to set up my domain to point to my local IP for stuff like valheim servers so i donโ€™t have to share an IP every time we want to play. My friendlywrt router supports dynamic dns out of the box, so thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m looking to use for my domain.

Also, it needs to support subdomains going to different places. Complete access to the dns records is enough, but I would love a more user friendly interface for adding things like a separate email host, a webhost address, plus a subdomain for the valheim server.

This is my setup. Ddns on the router updates ddns service and all my domain records are a cname to that.
