I would like to host my own web server with a domain name I purchased but my public IP isn't static.

I just have a cron script running on a machine that does something like this every 10 seconds

C_IP=`dig +short my.domain`
IP=`curl https://api.ipify.org`
if(C_IP != IP) {
    updateRoute53(IP)
}

This is just for my main home server. Gets the job done because if it's out of date for a few seconds nothing matters.
