In search for free domain I got IPQuick. It gives a random domain for any IP4&6. I know not reliable for commercial use but I just want a domain for nextcloud,fediverse and mail.

Questions 1.Is not IP keeps changing in short time will I need to Keep generating domains? 2.Any one using it?

You just made a mistake into saying what domain name you will take, someone may buy it before you in order to extort money from you.
It probably won't happen but...

That domain currently hosts a "this domain may be for sale" page, but it's been registered since 2005 so it's definitely not because of this post.

That reminds me of my Linux server teacher in university. We were to buy a domain name from Namecheap or Gandi during class with some free credits, and the teacher was recommending lastname[dot]com if that was available.

I happened to say aloud "yep, mylastname[dot]com is available" and he quickly sushed me as if I had named Voldemort aloud in Hogwarts, telling me that saying it is a really bad move... lol
