DynDNS will soon stop serving its free dynamic DNS


    The world- famous company Dyn , the owner of such a popular dynamic DNS service as DynDNS, is completely curtailing its third-level free domain name program. Disabling the free service is scheduled for May 7.

    The CEO of the company in his blog reports that the product was originally developed for a small group of people, who later grew into an exciting technology that millions of people could use and they are proud of it. But, unfortunately, they are forced to curtail the program of free dynamic DNS names in order to invest money in support, infrastructure and security systems, which will increase the quality of service for existing customers on a paid basis.
    They also offer a 25% discount on a paid analogue of the previously provided free service, which can be issued here using the FREE2VIP code.

    I remind you that since 2011 the company stopped registering new free accounts, but did not prohibit old users from continuing to use their free dynamic DNS names, reducing their number from 3 to 2 per account and entering a forced confirmation of account activity every 30 days.

    And the letter itself with sad news:
    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.

    What to do now and where to go to users who still need such a service? Indeed, many routers and other network devices support DynDNS out of the box, without installing third-party software.
