The only downside of afraid.org is that you have to log in in through their webpage every now and then in order not to get de-listed (at least if you're using their free services). Those mails seemed to end up in my spambox so I often missed them... :-/
Some other DDNS providers (e.g. nsupdate.info) don't require manual logins.
in a galaxy far far away...Basically the same as no-ip then...that's not gonna work for me...
I will check out nsupdate.info and any other suggestions you may have!
Right -- one wants to be able to leave things unattended...
I guess just about any DDNS provider should work fine as long as it doesn't require manual intervention, and as long as it is supported by your router or other DDNS client.

For now, I'm going to continue taking the easiest possible route,
and just stay on pibbs.sytes.net. But I'm sure this isn't the
last time this happens, and it's going to pi--uh, cook me off
more and more each time...
I've used no-ip's free services for several years and am VERY pleased
with them. I get an email reminding me to renew/verify my hostname(s) every month, and it has a clickable link to do so, and takes about 8 seconds.
They also offer a little DDNS client that I have running on a Pi, that checks my "public" IP address and reports/changes it to them (no-ip), in case my IP address changes. I have it set to do that every six hours,
but it's completely configurable however you want it. Works perfectly.
Turns out, if you forget to renew your subdomain with no-ip exactly every thirty days, they'll just remove your address from the internet. Guess what I forgot? (o_O)
no-ip: 1 out of 10, would *not* recommend. t(-_-t)
