I've been using dyndns.org for a few personal machines for  years now
using their free service without any problems.  I did once try to use
software to automatically keep my account active, but haven't done
that in years either.  (I just click confirm on the once a month email
asking if I still want the hostnames.)   What exactly are you trying
to accomplish?
