Dynu offers free dynamic DNS service for yourname.dynu.com and yourname.com. It has a simple API(update URL) and offers free update client software.


No monthly check-in. Provides multiple DNS records even for free third level domains. SRV record is especially useful for me.
Provides all the features that No-IP offers but for less hassle and a cheaper price.
Very convenient and stable service. Have used it for many years now. I like the fact that I don't have to check in or do anything to keep the free service going.

Alviy is Infrastructure-as-a-Service provides Dynamic DNS, Backup/Secondary DNS service and domain hosting with DNS zone management.




It's free forever and similar to DuckDNS. Both are better than No-IP for me
No-IP offers a free tier, but it requires periodic confirmation to keep the hostname active. This can be inconvenient for users who prefer a fully functional free service like Alviy, which provides free dynamic DNS without the same restrictions.


Bailed on No-Ip.com as it's too big a pain -- major Captcha puzzle x2 each month. (Used to do no-ip paid, but price is now $25 instead of $14.) DuckDNS seems to do the job fine and it's no-nag free (for now).
