I am quite curious as how you are getting this to work. Basically people sign up on your site and get a custom domain name with *.mchost.org? There has to be a catch to this.
No catch! Just providing tools to help better a community I'm deeply involved in.
There's more domains than mchost.org to choose from, too!
Awesome Thanks dude <33333
Wait so If I turn port into 25565, adding *.mchost.org will automatically connect to 25565?
Yes, Minecraft defaults to :25565 if the port is left off of your connection address, so iron.minecarts.com is equivalent to connecting with iron.minecarts.com:25565.
If the IP field is blank it would just use the IP of the caller (I think it's something like $_SERVER["CLIENT_ADDRESS"]).
Or is that already there?
Also, is this going to become a paid service soon?
Cool!
Could you add some type of API for updating the IP. Like this:

I don't mind creating an API for you as long as you have a valid reason for it. What is your intended use?
No plans to make this a paid service. As long as I get donations to help pay the renewal fees, I'm happy to provide this service for free. No donations so far.
mchost.org expired today before I had a chance to renew it and the fees are a bit expensive, so I'm working on transferring the domain to another registrar.
In the many months that I have had this service running and free, I have received a whopping $0.11 (eleven cents) in donations. Keeping these domains renewed and the DNS service online is costly - about $10 per year per domain, plus $3 per month for DNS hosting.
To prevent these outages in the future, please consider donating. Every donation goes directly towards domain renewals.
Man this service is great! I wanted to make a public minecraft server, but i didn't want hackers to just take my ip and try to hack me with it, so I made a domain name with this servece, so hackers wont know what my real ip is!

It is not hard at all for someone to find out your real IP!

Agreed! We've got one for ours too: Minecarts.com
