  Can we get a nice walk through of setting up dynamic DNS for wordpress domains?
  Google’s result leads to a useless conversation, maybe fix that topic to avoid web rot. (https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/dynamic-dns/)
  Looking for a workflow to create a local service that checks the public ipv4 (like at https://ipecho.net/plain, or https://ifconfig.me/) then pushes that as the a record for my wordpress domain/subdomain.
  Here’s a docker container for Dynamic DNS on DuckDNS, which is close but it’s aimed at DuckDNS instead of WordPress Domains. (https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-duckdns/)

  Hi there,

  All of the capabilities regarding domain management on WordPress.com can be found in the following guide: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/

  If I understand your scenario correctly, we don’t offer a feature like that on WordPress.com (automatically updating DNS records via a script), however, this is something that the domain team will be looking at adding in the future. Let us know if you have further questions or need more clarification on this. If you need help with domain-specific questions, you can reach us at help@wordpress.com or via your dashboard at https://wordpress.com/help/contact
