Hi, started self hosting quite a few things and would like a domain to use for when I’m out and about instead of having to remember what my IP is currently. What are the newest providers of services that can accomplish this?

The modern solution would be buying a domain and pointing the AAAA-record to your server’s ipv6 address.

… that may change at any time.

If your provider keeps changing your ipv6 prefix, then you still need dyndns.
With a static prefix, you don’t.
