Looks cool. IPv6 support would be neat. Does this work with the AirPort dynamic global hostname? I put my username and password in, but since my IP didn't change since I signed up I couldn't see if it was working right.
Why do you want ipv6 support? There are already ipv6 mechanisms like mobility aren't there (although not set them up yet).
I would disagree. This may look like a replacement from the end-user's point of view, but it does not address the real issues of DNS management: space to store all zone data, bandwidth to support requests flow, resources to handle the load.
Either you are just proxying someone else's service, or you are running your own on (supposedly) limited resources. Am I wrong?
Moreover, I heard from DynDNS engineers that the main reason that led them to stop their free hostname offer was: it was abused for spamming too often. How do you intend to cope with that?
Is there any particular reason you didn't just add your domain to the pool at https://freedns.afraid.org/ ?
Looks good. I have dd-wrt flashed on my home router. Since you are not in default service provider, I will try your service with wget+cron. Will host my own if your works :) http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/DDNS_-_How_to_setup_Cus...
Email me if you run into trouble.
Very neat! How much does it cost you to keep this service up? In case I need it and want to donate.
It's not really about the money but about the rush of endorphins you get when an email arrives in your inbox to the effect that a total stranger found something you made so useful that they decided to give you a few euro out of the good of their own heart.

You're absolutely right! However, as you said, it solves the user's problem from their point of view.
The main reason I started this project was that other dyndns alternatives (whether they be proxies or "fully-fledged" operations) have rather ugly domain names, in my opinion. 'zzzz' popped into my head, I saw that 'zzzz.io' was free, and decided to get it. A few weeks later, I finally got around to throwing a webapp together so others could benefit.
Not such a horrible thing to do, or?
And yes, the service is backed up by Amazon's Route 53. I did learn a thing or two about BIND and DNS from the experience though, which is also a plus.
