    I have never used no-ip.com but I would definately recommend dyndns.com instead.
    It's a free service, they have lots of domains and there are windows apps to update the ip as well as support in most routers sold. You can have 5 (I think) dynamic hosts registered.

    One thing I should mention is that I had a little problem with them in the past. You have to update the dynamic dns name once every 30 days, so you have to schedule an update even if your ip has not changed (which is unsupported in routers). Their paid service is like $10 per year and you don't have to update once every 30 days, plus you can have unlimited dynamic hosts.
    They offer more dns related services as well.

    Good luck!
