Right -- one wants to be able to leave things unattended...

I guess just about any DDNS provider should work fine as long as it doesn't require manual intervention, and as long as it is supported by your router or other DDNS client. I use "ddclient" here, and I believe most DDNS providers and clients support the "DynDNS v2" protocol for updates.

Some DDNS providers even provide wget/curl command lines -- allowing them to be scheduled in a cron job or similar -- although that will update the DNS record even when there is no change, so if executed too often might get you blocked because of the unnecessary ("abusive") updates... So a DDNS client is probably the right way to go. =)

Best regards
Zip
