[Discuss] Do you know of a Dynamic DNS service that doesn't demand I install software?

I thought most DDNS providers supported a mode where you could register
your IP using a simple HTTP request, which could always be triggered
from an if-up or whatever script via wget/curl.

Here's the HTTP REST API documentation for DynDNS:

DHIS (http://dhis.org/) also supports this (and provides other
advantages). See the documentation:
