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?

Don't do this, this is a seriously bad idea on multiple fronts. Buy a domain that's reasonably priced and you will be much better off. (gen.xyz is cheap)

What I have in my setup is a VPS that routes traffic into a separate network that has all my services in it. This way I don't need to expose my home to the public Internet
