How do you deal with DNS? I'm hosting something on a Raspberry Pi at home, and I had recently moved the DNS to Cloudflare. It's quite funny seeing my small personal website being down, although quite satisfying seeing both the browser and host with a green tick while Cloudflare is down.

DNS is actually one of the easiest services to self-host, and it's fairly tolerant of downtime due to caching. If you want redundancy/geographical distribution, Hurricane Electric has a free secondary/slave DNS service [0] where they'll automatically mirror your primary/master DNS server.

I don't have experience with a dynDNS setup like you describe, hosting from (probably) home. But my domains are on a VPS (and a few other places here and there) and DNS is done via my domain reseller's DNS settings pages.

Never had an issue hosting my stuff, but as said - don't yet have experience hoting something from home with a more dynamic DNS setup.
