dyndns suckage

I registered my dyndns domain "waypoint.homeunix.net" many, many years ago. After dyndns changed over to charging for services that used to be free, I got an email explaining this. Fortunately, my domain is always kept alive, so I even kept the wildcard option, which is now pay only.

Sometime last month, my account was deleted and the whole *.homeunix.net domain removed. I got no notification of this. OK, it's free so I can't complain much, but dyndns used to proudly proclaim it was free and always would be.

I'll now most likely just use a free wordpress.com account, or go back to blogger, maybe even iCloud. I have to fix my blog before exporting it. I'll also probably not bother with my own domain that forwards to the blog or any other hosting.
