DynDNS, the awesome service that lets you access your home computers from anywhere, recently announced that it’s getting rid of its free accounts. The most basic account now costs $US25 per year.
You can read more about the change at the blog post below, but the bottom line is that free accounts are going away after 7 May. If you want a free alternative, No IP is still a solid option.
Some routers and devices only support DynDNS, though, and if that’s the case, it’s worth paying the $US25 per year — it’s not that expensive considering what you get. You may also be able to install DD-WRT on your router, which supports No IP.

I’m glad I opted for a static IP now…
I have a static IP, but an easy to remember Domain is nice to have.
Can I use a free .tk domain with my static IP?
DynDns have been going downhill for quite a while now, progressively making it harder for anyone to use their free dns service. This is no surprise.
Turd buckets. Can’t believe they’re doing this. They can go cram it.
