That’s definitely a nice solution, but I have not had good luck with free VPS providers keeping the lights on. It would likely cost money on the order of $5 to $10 per month, so it is a different class of solution.
Comment on PSA: GoDaddy gated their own API. DDNS users warned

?? Your solution to dynamic dns is to run all the traffic through a static IP vps? Are you paying for this VPS, or are you saying you trust the host more than you trust cloudflare, because they give you a free VPS?

I pay for a VPS and a static IP for the VPS. Way safer and less fragile

Safer is a matter of opinion. You’re moving your trust from one company to another, that doesn’t necessarily equate more safety. How do you trust the safety of companies?
As for less fragile, that is patently untrue. You have all the same failure points as previous, but now must manage the update schedule of another server, and have the added reliance on a third party host. You’ve increased fragility if anything.

I’ve had very high uptime for years
