Dynamic DNS is a very neat tool that let's me have domain name associated with the dynamic ip address that I have with my DSL router (more info here). I've been using the Dynamic DNS service offered by DynDNS.com but they only let you use one of their domain names (they do offer a paid version of their service where you can use your own domain name). I was using their domain name of is-a-geek.com which was a pain to type in and it wasn't my own domain.
A coworker pointed me to a Dynamic DNS service that allows you to use your own domain name for free. The service is ZoneEdit.com. I've been using them for a couple of days and I've been impressed with the amount settings they let you control. Their site isn't the prettiest but they have a lot of functionality open to you. Make sure you get their open source IP Address updater client (more info here).
