In search for free domain I got IPQuick. It gives a random domain for any IP4&6. I know not reliable for commercial use but I just want a domain for nextcloud,fediverse and mail.

Questions 1.Is not IP keeps changing in short time will I need to Keep generating domains? 2.Any one using it?

    I was where you are too and 2$/month or even per year seemed crazy to me if I could get it for free

    If you’re at home and want to point to your home IP, but it constantly changes, the easiest is Dynamic DNS.

    You can find more.

    If you have a stable IP, there also free top level domains .TK / .ML / .GA / .CF / .GQ over at https://www.freenom.com/ . Their frontend is down sometimes, but once you have a domain and are point it to an IP, you should be dandy.

    Good luck :)

        Check https://whatismyipaddress.com/ to see your IP address once you’re connected to either network, but with a high likelihood, it’s almost certainly different IPs. In that case, Dynamic DNS is probably best.

        But if you’re using your neighbor’s wifi, I doubt there’s a way for you to host stuff unless you have access to their routers, can open ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS), and forward them to your server. It’s best to use hardware you control (including the router).
