What’s the benefit of having a separate DNS host? I’m using porkbun and had to mess around with its dns records to configure my email hosting. Does having separate service mean I don’t have to do this all over again If I switched registrars?
Comment on PSA: GoDaddy gated their own API. DDNS users warned

desec.io can be used with any domain registrar and has an API with support for various ddns clients (ddclient, lego).
deSEC is a free DNS hosting service, designed with security in mind.
Running on open-source software and supported by SSE, deSEC is free for everyone to use.

Yes, pretty much that. Plus some configuration might be easier with a DNS hosting. But the main benefit is decoupling domain and DNS for easier change.

Yes, a thousand times this. DeSEC is awesome, I moved my domain record management there. I’m usually buying domains on namecheap, and the IP allow list thing for the API was just too annoying to deal with.
