Opinion as Novice: If you are an experienced website builder, Hover seems like a great domain registar. This site is well-structured, pleasant, and the service is fast. They offer free domain name privacy. However, they do not host. It's been said that it can be good to have your registrar separate from your host. Hosts can cancel accounts causing difficulty with the domain registry. For a novice, at this point I recommend going w/a package deal from another company that includes a free domain name, hosting, etc. I decided to start my own first domain (vs subdomains which can be gotten for free) and the registrar setup with Hover was easy and pleasant for the most part, though after billing I saw the renewal price markup. Ok.. learning experience, it's not like I have to renew with Hover.. some people do take issues with their renewal prices. Then, I set up CloudFlare as a NameServer and Host, and that's where my confusions set in. If I had chosen a free year's package plan including domain name, hosting, etc to begin with, I'm betting I would have less confusion vs setting up with CloudFlare after.
While I love Hover, I don't see dynamic DNS as one of their features.
They have Name Servers. They don't support DDNS. They do not offer Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) that can be gotten for free on Cloudflare. I made Hover my registrar and was able to point the Name Server to Cloudflare.
