I use Dynu’s dynamic DNS service and SMTP relay service. They have solutions to every issue that you may encounter with a dynamic IP address. You can use dynamic DNS to host website and remote access.
Like other ISPs who provide a dynamic IP address, mine blocks port 25 as well. Dynu’s email store/forward and outbound SMTP relay service saved the day.
Very reasonably priced, support is helpful and prompt. No complaints so far.

I’d like to add one thing to the list. Dynu supports DNSSEC and it is free if you have your domain name registered with them.

Horrible company. Do not patronize.
I paid for their DDNS service. One of the benefits is priority technical suppoprt. I have twoopen tickets and other than the auto-response they have never responded.
My DDNS account doesn’t work. Neither of my e-mail addresses are recognized. My user name is not what I set up. I use 1Password so I am not trusting my memory here.
I cannot log into my control panel, cannot ask for a resend of my account verification letter, cannnot request a password reset.
This company has but ONE review per year. Why? Why are there not lots of reviews? I suspect this company is maybe just one guy who is using dynu as a cash cow.
Terrible company, terribe suppoprt. AVOID DYNU.

I’ve been with Dynu since 2016 for dynamic dns, not once have I had a problem, it runs so smooth I almost forget who I use. Great service, would 100% recommend. They support 2fa, btc payments, both with CC and BTC services are available very quickly.
