  • Back in the day, there was dyndns, and a bunch of similar services which would allow you to link a domain name to a dynamic IP. You just needed to run a service on your local network to monitor for IP address changes and notify dyndns.

    There was another service which would provide free DNS for your domain, in exchange for letting people use subdomains (under your domain) for free

    It still exists. I use the free tier of noip.com.

    No need to run a separate service as my BT Broadband router integrates with a bunch of Dynamic DNS services (including noip.com obviously).

    Personally I wouldn't try to host anything outwardly public on my home broadband connection. It would be all too easy for someone to denial-of-service your home connection which makes WFH or just relaxing at home impossible.
