Well, that's it then. DtDNS is shutting down. Email received today is below. If you are using their services, time to migrate, sharpish. I am swapping over to No-IP.
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that DtDNS will be ceasing operations on August 1, 2018
DtDNS will be ceasing operations on August 1, 2018. Many of our customers use our free service, which we have been happy to provide for many years. Unfortunately, we are unable to continue both the paid and free service as the number of complaints coming from our community DNS and dynamic hosting service have steadily increased over the last couple of years. Unfortunately the nature of offering a free hosting service opens a business up to abuses — a few bad actors make this type of offering quite challenging to operate.
You will need to migrate your DNS hosting to another provider before that date. After that time, we will no longer be available to provide assistance. Thank you for your past business and support. We wish you all the best for your continued success.
Due to the nature of dynamic DNS hosting, we are not able to transfer any dynamic domains nor any dynamic domain hosts to another provider. All changes in DNS settings should be made at your registrar. There is no need to make any changes on the DtDNS site as your account will automatically be deleted when we cease operations. We are not able to help with the transfer of any domains to other DNS hosting providers.
