Currently I am using No-Ip for my website and I wanted to use cloudflare for protection against ddos and bots. I noticed that you need a domain for cloudflare. Also I searched the web and found something called cloudflare ddns. I don't own a domain only the dynamic public ip of my home route. So how do I set up cloudflare without a domain?

You can't set-up cloudflare without a domain. With domains being extremely cheap these days, how about getting a domain just for your dynamic DNS needs?
Cloudflare does ondeed offer dynamic DNS updates (Dynamically update DNS records), either through the API or ddclient, but you will still have to bring your own domain.

Maybe you will be interested in Cloudflare Argo Tunnel.
A single command cloudflared tunnel --url localhost:80
will expose your webserver running on port 80 on your home server/PC to the internet. Cloudflare will generate a free subdomain under trycloudflare.com domain that your visitors can reach.
