Duck DNS

Free dynamic DNS service pointing subdomains of duckdns.org to an IP address of your choos

Visit Duck DNS

Duck DNS is a free dynamic DNS service that points a subdomain of duckdns.org to an IP address you choose. It provides a memorable name for a server or router whose address may change when the router reconnects or an EC2 server reboots, since the address is assigned by the connection provider and can update at any time. The service is hosted on AWS within an Amazon VPC.

The service maps DNS subdomains of duckdns.org to a selected IP address. The team reports work on faster UDP handling under load and cleaner addresses, and the site links to a Patreon page for support. Duck DNS is offered as a free service; no trial, editions, or seat-based or usage-based packaging is described.
