I've used DynDNS in the past to great affect so you can imagine my surprise when I went to re-register recently and was asked to sign up for a paid membership. Yes that's right DynDNS has shutdown its free plans. Still, having spent a couple of minutes Googling aleternatives I fell in love with ...
DuckDNS
DuckDNS is a simple, easy dynamic DNS service that itself is hosted on Amazon's EC2, and supports virtually every operating system, including routers that are running the DD-WRT open firmware. It's free, it's fast, and it was built and is maintained by a team of people who do it for the love - they even kindly mask your hostname from reverse lookups, which is a nice touch and much appreciated. You can read more about them in their FAQ here, or just sign up and download their client for Linux, Windows, OS X, the Raspberry Pi, DD-WRT, Tomato, OpenWRT, pfsense, Android, and others (yes, there's more) now.
