I just paid for an account, and no name servers show up when I go to 'Name Servers'. Perhaps because it's not fully processed yet? (As the help for email forwarding says to go to that page for setting up such things.) So I guess that's question one, I should wait for a confirmation email? :) [Edit: Yes, setting up email forwarding worked once I confirmed the domain purchase. A test email sent to myself has yet to arrive in my forwarded inbox.]

Second - can I programatically use dynadot's name servers in a 'dynamic dns' manner, to point the main A record at my home IP number? Since I get a dynamically allocated IP number, it'd be really handy if my home router could update the DNS pointer with a simple script when I get dis/reconnected. Through an API call, or maybe even as easy as having a special service for 'when your script logs in to this Dynadot address, the domain name gets automatically set to the IP that the script is logging in from'? That would be a wonderful feature!

Thanks!

You can Point it via a CNAME /forwarding to an Ip address but no updates must be done on the site, Plus if your PC gets hacked they cant steal the domain from you
