NameCheap DynDNS on a Pi3 I use NameCheap (because they’re anti-SOPA) for DNS. The client program, ddclient, can connect to NameCheap. I’m using raspbian, so, first; run sudo apt-get install ddclient on your Pi find the dynamic DNS settings on NameCheap’s website Dashboard >>> Domain List >>> Manage >>> Advanced DNS they do like to change these things around halfway down the page, there should be a DYNAMIC DNS thingie enable it (if you haven’t already) note the blurb-what-looks-like-a-SHA edit your /etc/ddclient.
