We don't really need DDNS but we've had issues with IP addresses changing and not knowing the IP changed until someone tries to remote into their PC. Just playing around I set one up with No-IP and the dynamic update client running on my PC. One thing I didn't notice until today is that with the free edition the hostnames are deleted after 30 days.

Now the enhanced is only $20 a year but like I said it's not a necessity and is only to make things easier for my users (i.e., keep them from calling me on the weekend).

If I can't find a decent free service I'll likely upgrade to the enhanced version of No-IP but does anyone use or know of a completely free DDNS service with a dynamic update client?

Check out www.dnsomatic.com. Also, check what DDNS providers your router supports. I have my router update dnsomatic, and it updates my domain that I have registered with namecheap.com. I used to use DynDNS until it went pay.
