DynIP review
A flexible DDNS service with broad integrations, APIs, IPv6, and custom domains.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DynIP is a dynamic DNS service for homelabs, edge routers, infrastructure teams, and small MSPs. It supports A and AAAA record updates, IPv6-only deployments, RFC 2136 TSIG updates, dyndns2-compatible HTTP updates, and a native JSON REST API. Users can register zones under public base domains or use bring-your-own-domain namespaces. The service is available through the web, API, and self-hosted options, with optional on-premise or dedicated deployments for enterprise environments.
The Individual plan is free forever and includes five zones, BYOD custom namespaces, DNSSEC where available, REST API and RFC 2136 TSIG updates, and community support. Pro costs €90 per year when billed annually and adds 25 zones, long-lived API tokens, team collaboration for up to nine members, and priority email support. Business costs €290 per year and includes 100 zones, long-lived API tokens, team collaboration, and priority email support. Scale costs €990 per year and includes 500+ zones, team collaboration, long-lived API tokens, and larger member caps available on request. The published monthly equivalent starts at €7.50 per month when billed annually.
Platform coverage is a major part of DynIP’s fit. Integration guidance covers FortiGate, OPNsense, OpenWrt, UniFi, MikroTik RouterOS, Cisco IOS, Cisco ASA, Teltonika RutOS, DD-WRT, Synology DSM, Fritz!Box, Proxmox VE, Kubernetes external-dns, cert-manager, and Traefik. DNSSEC, Let’s Encrypt certificate issuance, wildcard records, IP change notifications, and a 60-second propagation/update performance figure broaden its infrastructure use cases. Choose DynIP when you need multiple update methods, IPv4 and IPv6 support, custom domains, or network-platform compatibility. A simpler DDNS service may suit users who do not need APIs, DNSSEC, team features, or infrastructure integrations.
