GoDaddy – $2.99/mo, generally feature rich, does lack dynamic DNS support.
ZoneEdit – quite possibly free for present needs, supports dynamic DNS.
Dyn – $30/yr, easy/obvious client support, some (admittedly high) limitations on querys and the like.
easyDNS – $20/yr, appears to support dynamic, (high) limits.
After a recent WordPress upgrade, I found myself unable to log in again and was receiving HTTP 500 messages. Kudos to Jeff for his post at http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/02/18/quickly-disable-or-enable-all-wordpress-plugins-via-the-database/ for the quick backend disable of plugins through the database. I’m sure there are other posts describing the process out there, but his came up near the top of Google’s results for my search and were very simple and straightforward – and solved the problem in short order. Fortunately I wasn’t under his time crunch to get things fixed, but I appreciate his documenting the fix after the fact.
http://iscs.sourceforge.net/ ISCS administrators do not configure the security subsystems separately. They never write a single order dependent rule or complex security association. They describe the security environment in functional, practical, process oriented terms such as, “Sales needs access to Sales Data”, “Marketing, Financial, Engineering and the outside Advertising Agency need access to the New Product Line data”, “the 192.168.1.0/24 network should participate in the VPN”, “the new acquisition’s 10.1.1.0/24 network needs to NAT globally to 172.16.8.0/24 to avoid conflict with the existing 10.1.1.0/24 network” or “the credit card database servers should not be allowed to send packets any further than the e-commerce web server in the DMZ to prevent data theft over the Internet.”
Thoughts on changing passwords daily (possibly multiple times daily) on any non-personally owned systems. There are a couple of potential pluses for this thought: if your password is ever compromised, or if it is subpoena’ed for any purpose, it has likely already changed by the time an attempt is made on the account. Cons: incredibly unwieldy to manage for multiple or all accounts; would have to be managed by an automated process on a personally owned system, with a method to sync/provide the updated password to end user in real time; providers might see as suspicious; tracking what characters are allowed in passwords for what providers; managing password resets if required (and syncing back to the changer controller, as it would have to know a changed password in order to be able to update it).

“But I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules l surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; If I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am responsible for everything I do.” (“The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress”, 1966) Heinlein?
