    FreeDNS is better than duckdns because there are thousands of domains to choose from, not just duckdns.org

    @timint > "Requires activation every 30 days or the DDNS domain is disabled.

    " That's true, but it works well, quickly, and I find it stable. The interface is clear too. DuckDNS is very good, but I've had a few issues with it, not yet with No-IP. However, No-IP only allows one domain, compared to five for DuckDNS.

    DuckDNS is very basic compared to Dynu. Both are good though.
