## What it is
GoDNS is a self-hosted dynamic DNS (DDNS) client written in Go that automatically updates DNS records when your IP address changes. It supports multiple DNS providers such as Cloudflare, AliDNS, DNSPod, DuckDNS, HE.net, and DreamHost, and includes a built-in web panel for monitoring.

## Use cases
- keep my home server domain pointing at my changing IP
- update Cloudflare DNS records automatically when my IP changes
- run dynamic DNS for IPv6 on a router
- self-hosted DDNS client with a web dashboard
- update DuckDNS and DNSPod records from a single tool
- expose a home lab behind a dynamic IP

## When to avoid
- you want a fully managed DDNS service without running anything yourself
- your DNS provider is not among the supported ones
- you need enterprise DNS management beyond simple record updates
