I"m trying to stay away from dyndns because I've got to log in monthly to keep it up to date. Also woudln't dns lookups be slow if i linked from my new one back to dyndns>?
I'm just hosting my own portal it's basically a good search page with links on it that go to password protected parts for me (mythweb and rutorrent) but i'll probably expand on it eventually.
