Advice Needed Is there a good free replacement for dyndns?

[T_G]

Guys, I used to have a free account on dyndns. I haven't used it for a while, I think they went fully paid by now.

Is there a similar service you could recommend?

Cheers

At one time I used Free Dynamic DNS - Managed DNS - Managed Email - Domain Registration - No-IP but haven't done for some time now so not sure what they are like these days. It seems the free account needs to be updated at least once every 30 days or it gets deleted.

I must admit I still use DynDNS and pay the costs as it works well with all my routers at various locations around UK & Finland!

Some router and other manufacturers offer free dynamic dns
Not sure how this works:
OpenNIC Wiki: .dyn TLD
Your isp's default dns might not resolve OpenNic TLD:s?

+1 for noip.com

I use them here for various things and as long as u click the link in the email to confirm the host(s) every month it works well

Their DUC client for keeping the IP up to date is a great feature, I set it to run when Windows starts then it keeps the hosts current by reporting my IP every 5 minutes

Use Noip

It's free if you don't mind having to click the update link every month.

DTDNS.com is one that i use, its free or $5 for a lifetime enhanced service.
