I’ve been thinking about finally getting myself a proper domain for my server, but a friend told me that to get one I either need a VPS with a public ip (which just takes all the fun out of selfhosting) or purchase a static ip, which is beyond what I’m willing to spend for a hobby. Do I have any good options or should I just let it go?

Also, if this isn’t the correct community for this, I’d appreciate being pointed to the right one, thank you

    I believe cloudflare has some sort of tunneling option but I’ve never really looked into it, it might get around that.

      It does, yeah. If you aren’t averse to cloudflare then it’s a great option.

      From memory I think it’s limited to http/https traffic, but that’s normally not an issue, just have all your services behind a reverse proxy.
