Domain name stuff?

[geo]

So in other words, they are just asking me (in a strange way) if I'm still going to be parked at such-and-such domain_dot_something?
 
They're not going to shut anything down?
 
But for getting my computer on a domain for free, once a month I just have to respond to their annoying e-mail and click on a link?

Did I interpret any of this correctly?

Yes, so if you just click the link titled "You can also use this link
to prevent expiration:" you're good to go for another 30 days. Note
this 30 days is reset anytime you update your dyndns entry I believe.
