Because these issues are rather annoying to me, I decided to revisit an option that I mentioned a year or so ago. I'm also basing some of my decision on the articles posted online in reference to the no-ip.com issue.
I'm going to be switching over to using the freedns.afraid.org dynamic dns updating service. I took the liberty of registering a new domain to be used for anybody to host their dynamic domains. I'm currently in the process of setting things up and getting my stuff switched over to it. Once it is up and running, I will be creating a post describing this and what they can do if they want to use it. It will be free for anybody to use and I will maintain that domain name.
The domain that I chose to use is: tank-stats.com
I think it is fitting to use. Anyways, for those of you who are interested in using it, I will have details later. If you aren't interested, that's cool. I'm just trying to figure out more ways to help and prevent this stuff from happening in the future.
