If you have a domain, I think you need to look into something like 
zoneedit.com: the dyndns and no-ip,org solutions, at least for free, 
don't cover domains outside their own namespace. With zoneedit you can 
have up to 5 domains for free. To keep them in sync with your dynamic 
host, you could use zoneclient.py (http://zoneclient.sourceforge.net/).

It's worked fine for me so far (touch simulated woodgrain).
