In short: No, the hostname isn't that important for your purposes.
where should I be using the no-ip hostname associated with my dynamic IP? I have the no-ip updater software for ubuntu to always keep my ip up to date with my hostname as my apt complex will not do static ip. They claim they do not block ports. I have 6mb down and 3mb up
