Host Name for Your Home Address

I've used VPN's for the longest time, whether for gaming with friends or accessing files off my home machine.  I've always relied on Hamachi to create a mesh network for the VPN, because the home IP address is never the same and makes it difficult when using a program like OpenVpn.

My coworker forwarded me to this free service http://www.no-ip.com that dynamically updates your ip address in your DNS so that you can point to a host name and always connect to your home computer no matter what your IP address is.

I don't think my roommates will it to much when my friends connect through our internet connection to game over VPN, but they'll live haha.  Can't be any worse than when they/roommates torrent all night.
