You just want the domain? Use dot.tk

Why do you need a no-ip account? This isn't for RATs is it?

You don't have to set it up on your own, you have to pay for it.

I can just point to their dns without transfering the .tk to their registry

Be aware that you'll need open ports on the routers you find when using wifi... (which means either hacking into the router to open the port or being the admin)
 On 3G that will work.
 I once used no-ip: you can choose a domain from these:


So your domain will be in the form of you_chose_this.chosen_from_the_list.com
For a mobile use, it's Ok, but to host properly a site i'd discourage doing a home-made server, due all the problems you may have, especially when MySQL doesn't like you.
