But now it seems that having been eaten by Oracle, it is now being

acquisitions. The final stage, of selling off whatever is left
afterwards, is "excretion".)
True that. However, the email I got seems to indicate the service will be
ongoing for a while and speaking from a personal standpoint I paid for a 3
year renewal just a few months back. So unless they are planning on offering
refunds I expect my service to continue for a few more years. By then the
landscape will have changed again.
One issue with the other providers is the lack of integration - at least for
me. On most of the gear I use the DynDns service is a in HW option. So I
don't have to run clients on my clients to update IPs.

From what I can determine the paid service will
continue, it is the free service
that is being stopped. Kinda sad really. I used to
(until this happened) recommend
dyn as a good service to use. Nice to see the recommendations for others popping
up here.
Time to do a little research.
I?m paid for the next 5 years with Dyn. At that time I?ll have to re-evaluate my options.
