Dynamic DNS domain registrar (kbin.social)

Hey y'all, I've been using my.freenom as my domain registrar for the past six years without too many issues. I've kept it mainly because it has been cheap as balls. However, I am now looking for a registrar that supports dynamic dns and would love to hear your suggestions. The first results that pop up are google and godaddy which are not what I'm looking for. (I actually had issues with godaddy stealing domain names all the way back in 2010, but that's another story) A local community reference is worth a lot more to me than a top search result.

The plan is to set up my domain to point to my local IP for stuff like valheim servers so i don't have to share an IP every time we want to play. My friendlywrt router supports dynamic dns out of the box, so that's what I'm looking to use for my domain.

Also, it needs to support subdomains going to different places. Complete access to the dns records is enough, but I would love a more user friendly interface for adding things like a separate email host, a webhost address, plus a subdomain for the valheim server.

I know you got your answer but wanted to mention the Google DNS is going away and being migrated to square space.
