From what I can determine the paid service will continue, it is the free service that is being stopped. Kinda sad really. I used to (until this happened) recommend dyn as a good service to use. Nice to see the recommendations for others popping up here. Time to do a little research. I’m paid for the next 5 years with Dyn. At that time I’ll have to re-evaluate my options. David
