Real domain with dynamic IP (lemmy.world)

I got a homelab, at the moment I am only running some local stuff and tailscale to reach my stuff remotely.

I can use tailscales ddns, but I would like a real domain. Is there a domain registrator that works with dynamic ips? Or do I need to use a CNAME instead of A record?

All domains works with Dynamic IPs - it all depends on what DNS-provider you use :) Provider like Cloudflare ( I do not recommend Cloudflare) and afraid.org both offer dynamic DNS.

    Why don't you recommend Cloudflare?

    It is a giant MITM proxy, and whoever who has access to their logs have the potential to gain a lot of control

    Don't have to use their proxy. My gateway router uses cloudflare to set the IP via the API and I just use self-signed certificates. A record resolves to my gateway, not some cloudflare server.

    They also do a lot of work in the privacy space. Encrypted Client Hello to protect SNI came from them.

    If you use any company for TLS termination they can MITM (e.g. AWS certificate manager).

    Yea, that's right. What I was looking for was like one stop shop. Where I can pay for my domain and dns needs. My current domain registrator does not have dynamic dns, so I have to use a CNAME from another place with a ddns.
