I use http://freedns.afraid.org which I think works similar to DuckDNS. (I use my own domain)
Add Let's Encrypt to the mix and I have a https web server running on a (dynamic, but it never changes) cable ISP address.

I haven't tried the GoDaddy API for ddns. Let us know how that works.
I've got a (FREE!) account at DuckDNS
https://www.duckdns.org/install.jsp
and I've been using that, with the clients where I have an embedded server, to run a ddclient that keeps the duckdns DNS entries up to date.
I added a second level of abstraction, so I've added CNAMEs of client1.tedroche.com, client2.tedroche.com to my own DNS, as I've got a DNS with unlimited entries, and that way I can depend on these CNAMEs in scripts and configuration files, even if I switch to FredsFreeDNS or whatever.

<snip> Certainly my preferred solution, In several small biz I work with (3-6 people), the data and my app end up on a Linux box in their office that provides them with Samba and Apache intranet and other useful functions, as well as proving a robust ssh server inside their network that can send log files and let me know when their external IP address changes. A small workgroup server is a fairly inexpensive capital outlay for most businesses.
Yes, I've done most of the above using WD NAS boxen and some of it just on the router , RasPi should also be pretty simple (trying that next, with the GoDaddy API for ddns - I think it needs nodejs which might be fun!).
