Dynamic DNS

Best Free Dynamic DNS Solution

Dynamic DNS

When DynDNS stopped providing free Dynamic DNS services I was left searching for a solution. I found NO-IP.org which I used for a few years, but got fed up with having to login every month to re-activate. So I found a solution that provides that, before I tell you about it. Let me list a few services and the pro's and caveats I found with them.
