I actually know of two local businesses who use both DynDns and NOIP for 
their service. The one who used DynDNS used the free service for a while 
and finally moved to the paid service. The only problem I know they had 
(which I've been staying in touch with them over as I cant get mine to 
work) is that they ddclient will not update their ip. After a few months 
of this problem they put a windows machine in front of the ubuntu 6.06 
one and that fixed the problem for now.

If you can get ddclient to work reliable and update your address, this 
would work for a low traffic site.
