I'd suggest having a look at no-ip.com.  The free service won't give you 
a choice of domain but I gather you can have up to 3 subdomains.  I 
didn't realise the free option for DynDNS had gone.  I noticed that over 
the years they've taken more and more away.  I'm looking at my options 
at the moment, I'd like to host an e-mail server at home using a DynDNS 
service with a domain (at the moment my domain goes to my web provider 
and pick mail up using fetchmail) and I don't know if I'm worth paying 
the $15 or whatever it is to DynDNS or no-ip.com
