My account is running on empty, how do I keep it open?

I do not think that this message expresses your account being near to expiration. Where exactly does "it" say this? I never heard about this message, so can't give any recommendation. Could it be that it is a joke from a 3rd party? The terminology sounds rather strange.

Edit:
Ah, do you mean this? https://www.dyndns.com/account/cart/
This simply means you checked your cart (shopping basket) at DynDNS, but it is empty, as you didn't put anything in. Just this!

You mixed up "account" and "cart" then.

Hmm, according to the menu on the left this seems to be displayed at this URL. Could it be that you have absolutely no services defined, no hostnames, no Internet Guide, nothing?

Try to visit this URL to see your hostnames. If there are none, add one to see if the other message disappears.

Here's what my account information says (private info blurred)

So, the original message seems to be a bug. Simply ignore it.

Edit:

Looks like I'll be losing my dynamic address again. I wish dyndns would just come right out and say, "We only offer 30 days of free access," instead of promising us a free account then deleting it without any indication of why.

As I initially said, I do not think that this message expresses your account being near to expiration. I rather treat this as a bug of their website program. If you didn't receive a warning e-mail (check your spam folder too!), your account does not expire. And the wording of the message does not suggest that it is about expiration, not at all.

They say what they say on their website, and their reputation doesn't allow to do something different. What do you think, how quick would they disappear from the market with such business practices you insinuate? One month? A quarter? A year?

OK, so you pay for a Pro account for one month, then you can cancel and keep one free domain running. That was difficult information to find on the site, not just for me it appears.

I am having this same problem. My (free) account must have expired and I can't get it up and running again. My account shows that I have no hosts available. When I try to add a host, it shows that my account is "running on empty." Is it still possible to use the free service? If so, is there documentation someone on how to achieve this? Thank you.
