DynDNS (who now own EveryDNS) are about as good as it gets. They have their own community forum and a well populated support site, including everything you need to know to write your own update client in a pinch.

Disclamer: I'm a moderator on the DynDNS Community Forum and have been a very happy customer of theirs for many years now

Does Dyn still provide free dynamic dns? I don't see it offered on their site. I was an old school paid EveryDNS user, and this is the first time I've needed the service since they shut down last year. – agf Apr 1 at 6:13

Yes, though only through signing up for a free trial of the Pro service, then cancelling it. – Cry Havok Apr 2 at 15:22

DynDNS is pretty much the gold standard. A lot of well supported clients and a lot of routers support their service.

I use Zoneedit with my own domain name - it supports a range of clients, and if all else fails (as it did with one of my boxen) you can throw together an update script that uses wget. The website is a little spartan and web 0.5 looking, but poke around, and it pretty much supports most things you'd need
