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

I’m paid for the next 5 years with Dyn. At that time I’ll have to re-evaluate my options.
