-## DDNS: Dynamic DNS
-
-If you're hosting a service from a location with dynamic DNS (where your IP may
-change at any time), you must have a solution to update the DNS so that you can
-access your service even when the IP of the server changes.
-
-The process below uses the [Cloudflare API](https://api.cloudflare.com/) to
-update DNS `A` and `AAAA` records with the server's current IP. If you use
-another DNS provider, you will have to find a way to update your DNS (or find a
-way to get a static IP).
