In search for free domain I got IPQuick. It gives a random domain for any IP4&6. I know not reliable for commercial use but I just want a domain for nextcloud,fediverse and mail.

Questions 1.Is not IP keeps changing in short time will I need to Keep generating domains? 2.Any one using it?

  1. Check out afraid.org and learn how to set up DDNS.
  2. I've been using afraid.org for a long time with no issues. I don't know IPQuick.
  3. Real domains can be REALLY cheap if you don't need something fancy. Just go to https://tld-list.com/ and sort for "cheapest renewal".

Not an expert, but AFAICT email self hosting is not considered a good idea, as the maintenance of an email server requires a lot of work. An alternative could be using Cloudflare for the DNS and set up email routing (for free).
