There is a open source alternative:
https://www.nsupdate.info
You can roll your own or just use the one they setup.
https://github.com/nsupdate-info/nsupdate.info
The project is well maintained and they focus on security.

I also setup a Dynamic DNS service, on top of Amazon's Route53, over at https://dhcp.io/
Unfortunately I had to suspend new registrations due to abuse, but the code is open and available on github:

Dyn is much more a dynamic DNS provider, though that is probably what "most" people know about.
Damn no! should i move to another dynamic dns provider then? have to check my router for which are supported :(
roll your own with Amazon Route53? that what i am thinking of doing...
There are a few guides out there, for example:

I setup a simple service to do the same thing, but unfortunately I had to close new registrations due to abuse. The code is open and available at github though:

I have been unsing https://freedns.afraid.org for 3 years.
Seems to be a good service.
What percent of Oracle acquisitions don't end in either purposefully shutdown or shutdown due to management failure?
I created my own service a while ago, use https://github.com/longsleep/mydyns as pointers if you want to roll your own. I am certain there are plenty of similar solutions to run your own dynamic DNS.

Awful! Just finished evaluating them and went with DNSMadeEasy instead. Doubly glad of that decision now...

(An out-of-date Java being a requirement of a recentish version of Oracle Financials, and Java on Windows defaults to installing browser toolbars every time. Because Oracle need those extra few cents from tricking users.)
