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?

Silly as it is, many ISPs hand out dynamic IPv6 prefixes that may change once in a while. Or "dynamic" prefixes that never seem to change (but are not guaranteed never to change).

The reason is of course that they like being able to charge extra for static IPv4 addresses, and they see no reason to get rid of that revenue source for IPv6.
