Which Dynamic DNS routing service using my own Domain name?

Which Managed DNS service using my own Domain name?

I host a few "listen" servers for friends when playing various games.

Giving them my IP is a pain in the butt at times, what I want to do is for them to use for example my own domain name to make things easier, for example, host.gimpymoo.com and for that to route to my dynamic IP address.

At the moment, I have created an A record on my domains DNS which does work, the obvious problem though is that if my IP changes and I update the A record, it is going to take time for the DNS servers to populate.

Am I right in thinking an A record can only be an IP address and not a URL? If not, then surely I could get a free no-ip/DynDNS address and create an A record for that although I dont think that works.

What would be the best/cheapest service to use?

Thanks.

I would prefer to use my own domain though.

I assume you are using their given domain name or do you have a plus account for no-ip?

Anyone used the premium service of either no-ip or Dyndns, seems to be about $25 - $30 a year.

I allready have a domain name you see, just wondered if there was anything cheaper than $25.
