Dyndns killed my hostname

Well, looks like my router didn't update my account for over a week and Dyndns killed my account. Any opinions on where I should go for my dynamic hostname? Any real benefit to paying for it, other than no auto expiration?

I used these folks quite some time ago:

[edit] hmm, check them out a bit, I just read about some sort of advertising service with the free setup...

It's not your router's fault - I got an e-mail a couple of weeks ago saying they were no longer counting automatic logins for keeping accounts alive - only manual web-logins will count towards their 30-day "use it or lose it" policy.

Yep, same with no-ip. I have to log in manually at least once a month. Bummer, but it's free.
