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

I use DuckDNS. There's been only one outage for the ~2 years I've been using it and it's free. I also use DuckDNS to acquire the SSL certificates for the reverse proxy.

I used duckdns for my jellyfin server, but after a week or so I started getting malicious site warnings from Firefox, and had to ‘accept the risk and continue’ every time. Ended up going back to noip. It’s a pain to renew every month, but I haven’t had any other problems with it.

What do you mean renew every month?

You need to confirm each month that you’re still using that url if you’re in free tier. Otherwise it won’t be registered to you
