You are correct. Basic account using one of their domains is free. But,
custom dns is charged for now (didn't used to be) which means you can
use your own domain name. This may be better if you're thinking of email
as well.

DynDNS does not charge for a basic account. They have "value added"
services for which they do ask compensation, though. I have a DynDNS
account that I got free earlier this year, so unless they've made a
recent change - and my last visit to the site a few weeks ago didn't
hint at it - then their basic service is still free, and allows
linking up to five domains.

I've been running a number of low volume sites on a 1.5M dsl with
128k uplink for five+ years.
dyndns is excellent but now charge for new accounts and there are
free services available.
You didn't say if you were Linux or Windows. I use Linux, on an older
box with ddclient to update dns. The Linux box is also firewall and
smtp server.
You say you want to learn? If so I'd forget the cms and include
mysql. With html, php and mysql you can build from scratch. You
really need a end goal if you're going to use a cms ie it's mostly
about config).
I'd also forget the water and buy a six pack.

You'll need:
- broadband Internet service, with AT LEAST 384K uplink
- a DynDNS account or similar, if said service doesn't include a
static IP
- your own registered domain name or a subdomain from DynDNS, etc.
- a service or daemon to update the DNS records for said
domain/subdomain,
if not a static IP, or a router (e.g. D-Link DGL-4300) that can do it
- a Web server: Apache, Xerver, Sambar, etc.
- Firewall!
- knowledge of site and system security measures
- knowledge of log analysis
- CMS (content management system), probably, unless you're a masochist
- 2 cups of water and a blender ;-)
