Personally I just use Amazon's Route 53 and a ~150 line shell script wrapping awscli[1] to update the records. It's not ddclient but it gets the job done. Cost averages about $1.51/mo. for the DNS service and annual domain renewal—that's for a $12/yr. .info domain; other TLDs will vary. The DNS service pricing depends on the traffic, but at only $0.01 per 25,000 queries it's probably not a significant factor for most of the sites that would benefit from dynamic DNS.
