FWIW, I've been using DynDNS for several years now, and can definitely 
chime in a thumbs up about them.  The service works, they're reliable, 
and they're set-it-and-forget-it.  (I haven't had to manually log in 
there probably in like a year.)  Oh yeah, and it's free (as in beer). 
What more could you ask for?

BTW, I also recommend using the ddclient daemon (http://ddclient.sf.net) 
to keep the dynamic dns service updated.  The daemon is reliable, very 
easy to configure, and again just set and forget.  (And they include a 
sample configuration for DynDNS, I might add.)
