[John Heim]

I want to get a dynamic dns account for my vanity domain, johnheim.com. 
I see that dyndns has a debian package so I went there and created an 
account. When I started putting things in my shopping cart, I saw that  
transfering the domain was like ten or twelve bucks. But it wants to 
charge me something like $35 for "standard DNS". Do I need that? I'm 
getting a total of around $45 for one year. Everywhere else I look, it's 
$10 to $15 *total*.

The shopping cart options at dyndns.com  for DNS are something like 
"standard DNS", managed DNS (which is way more), and "I want to run my 
own DNS server." I don't want to pay $35 for DNS nor do I want to run my 
own DNS server.  Is the shopping cart just misleading or do I really 
need that standard DNS service?

I know that I could just use a different company but I'm blind 
anddyndns.com works well with a screen reader. Better than  namecheap, 
godaddy, or namesecure.
