The only unfortunate thing about this is unless you are using something that can change with your IP address (like using noip, dynip or similar dynamic DNS servers) you will break the service every time your modem goes down/reboots and pulls a new IP address from Spectrum. The 2 dynamic DNS options there I think would require you to be running a PC.
A number of modern routers directly support DDNS. My Netgear R9000 does (as long as you're
not using Netgear's free service, which, although using No-IP at the back end, has some unfortunate bugs). I have an acccount with No-IP and a couple of hosts set up at different locations and it works well for my security cameras.
And if you've replaced your router's firmware with DD-WRT, OpenWRT or a few other alternatives, DDNS is very likely supported and works quite well.
