DynDNS.org removes dynamic entries if it is not refreshed or changed after 35 days. Some ISP’s i.e., Comcast only changes the IP address about every 3 months. According to dyndns.org the “Static DNS” service should be used in such cases. The “static” service still allows an update, it just takes a bit longer to propagate. So even if you really have a dynamic address but it changes in intervals larger than 30 days, use the static service.
