Dynamic DNS - The Good, The Bad and The Cheap?

Posted by Cliff on from the living-without-a-static-ip dept.

flyman asks: "I recently was 'downsized' from a company, and have had to really cut back on expenses. One of those cut-backs was to cancel my business class DSL with static IPs. I have since signed up for standard Cable Internet, which only has dynamic IPs. I know there are several DDNS providers out there, but which ones are good? Easy to use? Free or cheap? I still want to host some dev sites from home, if possible. Any advice would be appreciated."

    When I was laid off, my first priorities were making sure I could pay for food and rent. But to each his own, I guess.

      My second priority would be trying to find a job. Or a temporary consulting gig. If your gig is doing web backend stuff, then it's nice to be able to keep up your skills on your home box, and also use that as a demo platform.
