Just tested the registration approach..
It is still working today..
1) Register at https://www.dlinkddns.com/signin
2) Use the same credentials to login www.dyndns.org
3) Create/register the hostname you needed (e.g. XXXX.dyndns.org )
4) Apply the hostname, creditals to your non-dlink router
Did you receive any message from DynDNS telling you that you have to login www.dyndns.com in every 30 days of use?
For my case, I have already registered 5 accounts but I often receive regular e-mails from DynDNS about my accounts to be expired if I do not login the system in 30 days.
Welcome D-Link Customers
Let's get started! In order to set up a dynamic DNS host name for your D-Link router, please create an account. From there you can reference our “How To” section for getting everything set up.
Attention:
This is a complementary service for D-Link customers only.
We monitor this portal carefully, and should we detect that you are not a D-Link customer, your account will be deactivated without notice.
If you are not a D-Link user, please see below.
Not a D-Link customer?
That's alright! Dyn has a solution for you.
If you're looking for a way to remotely access your router, computer, etc.; then we'd love to offer you a free 14-day trial for our DynDNS Pro service.
You'll gain access to up to 30 hostnames per account and will never have to worry about your account expiring!

This email is a reminder that Dyn's free hostname program will be ending this Wednesday, May 7th -- 3 days from today. If you are receiving this email, you have one or multiple free hostnames (ex: your-cool-hostname.dyndns.org) with us.
In order to avoid any service disruption, you have the option to upgrade your free service to any package of Remote Access (formerly DynDNS Pro) for a one-time 25% off discount. By doing so, you will keep your current hostnames as well as gain immediate access to additional hostnames, customer support, and more.
Here's how you get this done in two easy steps:
1) Login to account.dyn.com.
2) Click here to add Remote Access to your cart at the one-time 25% discount, applied upon checkout.
Note: This turndown only affects free hostnames like “your-cool-hostname.dyndns.org”, not domains you own such as “example.com” that are typically associated with our Standard DNS or Domain Registration products. These paid services will remain unaffected.
However, if you are a customer with a paid Dyn service other than Remote Access (ex. Dyn Standard DNS or Dyn Email Services) and also utilize free hostnames in your account, you must purchase Remote Access to keep those hostnames.
Closing Your Account:
Although we hate to see you go, we understand if you would like to close your Dyn account and seek free dynamic DNS from another provider. In order to do so, just visit the Close Account page. Please note that Dyn will not close your account for you.
If you have additional questions about the changes, please visit our FAQ page.
