I’m new to self-hosting. All I did so far was install Ubuntu Server, enable SSH and tried setting up DuckDNS, which I could not set up automatic update of my IP following the documentation, neither updating manually through the website, which even though seems to be changed, when I ssh the domain, I get the initial IP

Anyone using DuckDNS? Is it working properly for you guys? Did I just mess something up?

What other DDNS providers would you recommend me?

    I am using DuckDNS and it’s working perfectly for me. I use the DynDNS feature of my Fritz!Box to update my DuckDNS-IP. The documentation on their website is spot-on for me, even for my IPv6 and I never had any issues with DuckDNS.

    What I like most about the service is the possibility to use subdomains like my-service.my-username.duckdns.org. I don’t know whether this is a commong feature or not.

    When you had problems updating your IP Adresse did you consider that DNS information takes some time to propagate through the internet? I think it is not guaranteed that you can access a recently changed domain.

    How did you test your DuckDNS entries?
