I've used no-ip's free services for several years and am VERY pleased with
them.  I get an email reminding me to renew/verify my hostname(s) every month,
and it has a clickable link to do so, and takes about 8 seconds.

They also offer a little DDNS client that I have running on a Pi, that 
checks my "public" IP address and reports/changes it to them (no-ip), in
case my IP address changes.  I have it set to do that every six hours, but
it's completely configurable however you want it.  Works perfectly.
