Received this last night:

"
To our Dyn free hostname users:

For the last 15 years, all of us at Dyn have taken pride in offering you
and millions of others a free version of our Dynamic DNS Pro product. What
was originally a product built for a small group of users has blossomed
into an exciting technology used around the world.

That is why with mixed emotions we are notifying you that in 30 days, we
will be ending our free hostname program. This change in the business will
allow us to invest in our customer support teams, Internet infrastructure,
and platform security so that we can continue to strive to deliver an
exceptional customer experience for our paying customers.

We would like to invite you to upgrade to VIP status for less than $20 -- a
25% discount good for any package of Remote Access (formerly DynDNS Pro).
By doing so, you'll have access to customer support, additional hostnames,
and more.
"

So I assume the take-up of their previously-discounted VIP offer was not
high enough and the free service is/was too popular.
While $20 is not a huge amount of money it does all add up, so are there
other (recommended!) free suppliers of this?

Can I do it myself if I have my own hosted space? (and if so how...)

Cheers,
Tim.
