[olug] (Relatively) Nearby Colocation Centers

[Dan Clough]

That appears to be the case - I recently changed out my router and went 
from a 68 class A to a 73 class A.  What's odd though is occasionally 
the IP will change without a corresponding hardware change - but that's 
rare, only having happened 2-3 times in the last 10 years at this residence.

Can anyone recommend a good TLD-based (not a subdomain) DDNS provider?  
I've got two domain names that I'll need to point to my home servers 
before the end of August.
