Which Dynamic DNS Service are you using?
I would like to host my own web server with a domain name I purchased but my public IP isn't static.

I use DuckDNS. There's been only one outage for the ~2 years I've been using it and it's free. I also use DuckDNS to acquire the SSL certificates for the reverse proxy.
How gave you set it up out of curiosity?
If you mean automatically update IP part, duckdns website has a very comprehensive guide.
If you mean getting a free SSL certificate, you can use acme.sh (this is what I used) which has integrated support for duckddns (To use let's encrypt you need to use
--server letsencryptin your command)I also use duckdns, but in the last year it went down like twice or something. Its good but not really reliable.
I used duckdns for my jellyfin server, but after a week or so I started getting malicious site warnings from Firefox, and had to ‘accept the risk and continue’ every time. Ended up going back to noip. It’s a pain to renew every month, but I haven’t had any other problems with it.
I use noip as well, but because I only have an IP camera on that network, and the camera has built-in DDNS support for noip. But I hate it having to renew monthly.
What do you mean renew every month?
You need to confirm each month that you’re still using that url if you’re in free tier. Otherwise it won’t be registered to you
