Actually - it gets better !

You DON'T need to have your own registered domain name - you can chose 
one at dyndns.com - actually it will be a sub-domain of one of the 
domains they own - but that shouldn't matter for your purpose.

Plus this service is FREE

Please refer to the following page:
