Why would persons pay no-ip and others over $9.0/ month for dynamic dns. When you own your own domain is beyong me. Even worst, you purchased your domain with the likes no-ip.com, and others. They still want you to pay!!
Help me understand the logics.

Don’t know. But afraid.org works good for me…
Any used Dynu.com They seem dead cheap but full indepth domain management is lacking. Unless l’m missing something.
I can ask the same about wildcard DNS. Even if you are willing to setup a docker container to keep your DNS updated no matter where it is hosted, normally you can only do so with one domain at a time. Want wildcard redirects? Most providers make you switch over to a virtual dedicated hosting. Thankfully cloudflare exists. You have full control over DNS, it’s free and they allow you to set www subdomain to a nameserver of your hosting provider and use dns trickery to cname the root domain to www, leaving all of the other subdomains free for you to use as you please.
Ok will check for more infor.
Setting your www directly to an A / AAAA record is easier, but using NS records instead allow your IP to change as your host changes it as if DNS was setup directly with the hosting provider. Learned my lesson last time my host decided to change the IP my service was hosted on.
You can than have a subdomain like home. where you maintain your public IP and a wildcard *. CNAME redirect to home. so that you can use nginx to expose your services easier, such as homeassistant., nodered., plex., etc…
If you use Cloudflare als your dns (you can transfer your existing domain) you can setup a cronjob that basically functions as a dynamic DNS. Then you only need to run this cronjob inside your home network. It’s free if you already have a domain and something that runs 24/7 inside your home network
