Hi guys!

I’m considering moving away from duckdns, as it’s becoming increasingly unreliable. I’d like to check some other free dynamic DNS alternatives (I’m open to suggestions!).

My idea would be to have the server run under two different domains, but both directing to the same services. Is this possible? What shoudl I change in nginx in order to answer to two different domains/names?

Thanks!

    Thanks. I’m seriously considering also a paid domain, so it’s good to hear from your experience. I might go try some other free provider first though.

      I switched to a paid domain in the last few months and regret not doing it sooner - it just works, and it’s nice knowing that I won’t have to reconfigure all my stuff to point at a different domain name again in the future. Price was maybe $15/year on porkbun - very much worth it imo.

      I’ve also used freedns in the past and had no complaints about them, except that I think wildcard subdomains are limited to paid supporters (very cheap though) and at the time my SWAG docker image maybe didn’t support them? It’s been a while. The service was great though. Never had problems like I did with duckdns.
