Why not just pay $2/yr for a domain on Name Cheap? They have a dynamic DNS solution.

Be careful OP that after first year you have to pay the 'renew' price, which is generally higher than 'register' price. A lot of cheap domain offers use that trick expecting users to become attached to their domains.

My domain has been consistently $2 for four years now.

Info please? All I've seen were offers around ~10 usd minimum for renewal.

I don't do anything special, I just have a really stupid domain name that no one else would want. I don't use autopay so maybe that helps.

Which provider are you using to have the domain so cheap?
