I'm on TekSavvy *cable*, formerly Shaw's last-mile, now I guess it's Rogers.
It lets me run lots of servers from home, and I only update my IP in the domain registry management software less than once per year.
So, depending on your ISP, you may not need a DDNS - your IP may be stable enough to not have to worry about it.
I'm on Rogers. With them, the IPv4 address changes so seldom, it's virtually static. Also, they provide a host name based on the modem & router MAC addresses. However, they will change with a change of hardware. It's a simple matter to use an alias to to that host name, as I do, rather than DDNS. In addition, Rogers provides IPv6 and the prefix is pretty much static. I've had the same one for over 6 years. It's even survived replacing both my firewall computer and cable modem.
