  1. I would assume you’d need to keep updating the DNS record to match the IP you have.
  2. I’m not. Nothing like that is completely free. I wonder how they pay for the DNS…

In a normal domain/DNS scenario, you need to make sure your domain points to the correct IP. Most registrars have websites where you can manage which domain points to which domain in the DNS records.
