oh! but is port forwarding an option? bc you don't need to set the ddns up on the router, you can generally set it up on the server too, so should be able to use other providers too then. it's basically just a script who runs at certain intervals, checks if the ip address changed, and does a call to the ddns provider if so. the big question is how to get your own domain to change. maybe your registrar allows to use your domain as ddns. there's also providers (indeed like duckdns, i also know of netlib.re but don't have experience with them) who provide a subdomain they control. An option is to use a CNAME (for your own subdomains) or ALIAS (for your own domains) record to point to the ddns subdomain, but not all registrars allow ALIAS records.
