A simple-to-update dynamic DNS service

In plain words

DHCP.io is a dynamic DNS service that automatically updates domain records when IP addresses change. It serves users who need reliable DNS management without complex configuration, particularly those with frequently changing IP addresses from DHCP connections. The service stands out for its straightforward update mechanism and ease of use compared to traditional DNS providers.

  Backname.io – every IP address gets its own domain2023 · backname.io · ▲46

  I was setting up tests involving DNS resolution recently, where something like 127.0.0.1.service.foo would have been tremendously useful. Back in the day, I'd have used xip.io - but sadly that service died. Well, every excuse is a good one when it comes to writing a DNS server! Backname.io joins nip.io and sslip.io in the wildcard DNS game.
