Recommend free dynamic DNS service?

[NeilF]

Anyone able to recommend a reliable free dynamic DNS service?

Fed up of looking up, and dishing out my IP address, so a static IP would be perfect!

I use https://freedns.afraid.org

It's not the prettiest solution but it's free and been 100% since dyndns stopped being free.

Thanks! Had a look but could see how you keep your IP address in sync with the site?

ie: If you reboot your router etc and get a new IP address...

Is there an app?

I use noip, it has an app yea but I use it with my synology which updates it for me.

NOIP say you have to confirm every 30 days? Even if everytime you boot up your PC is contacting them with an IP address?

No-ip along with my own domain name has worked very well over the last 18 months.

You have to verify every 30 days if the IP doesn't change.

...ok... And this is a traditional email which you click a link on to say, yes, I'm still here?

I've used Dynu DNS for a couple of years without issue.

To be fare the cost of the no-ip and using your own domain is only something like £20 a year. Even less with a discount code.
