Domain name stuff?

[geo]

This is what their message said (and to me it looks like now they want money just so my domain name stays where it is):
 
Your account ******* at DynDNS.com is due to expire in 5 days.

DynDNS expires accounts that have no activity during a 30 day period.

You can purchase an Account Upgrade to prevent your hosts from expiring
every 30 days:
  https://www.dyndns.com/+upgrades/add.html

Account Upgrades also give you more hosts, a higher abuse threshold, 
additional domain names, and telephone support and additional other special
DynDNS.com features. 

You'll find more info at:
  http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/upgrades.html

If you wish to allow your account to expire, simply do nothing. We will not
send you any future messages but we regret seeing you go. If you do have
any parting comments, please let us know.

You can also use this link to prevent expiration:

Sincerely,
The DynDNS Team
Dynamic Network Services Inc.

Hi,
I think you must have mis-read that message from DynDNS. They offer a
service whereby you can pay so you don't have to keep the DNS active,
but if you just click the link in the email you're good to go for
another 30 days, IIRC. I think they're just trying to keep stale
domains out of their system.

Hope that helps!
Stuart
