In process... but before I pull the trigger, I am using Dynamic DNS with 
my home cable provider to keep the original dns.dyn.com updated with my 
changing IP from the server. While it found my current IP, this changes 
occasionally perhaps at my ISP's whim and discretion. If I change the 
nameserver to cloudfare, how will I keep it updated? Or must I get a 
fixed IP from my ISP before doing the cloudfare thing?

I am waiting to pull the trigger but don't want to hose my nameserver 
setup I just got done paying for.... ifyaknowwhatimean.
