You can use here-documents to simplify this eg:

Code:
cat <<EOF
 
 
 
-------------------  $(date) ---------------------
Running update IP address for @ domain
EOF >> /home/user/DYN_DNS_IP_change.log

Important to note that the "EOF" string at the end must be at the start of the line (if your indenting your code dont indent the EOF or it won't match with the <<EOF marker).

$(date) runs the date command and puts its output in-line.


Are you sure there aren't any non-printables in that return string? Try piping the output thru od -c eg:
Code:
wget https://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=@&domain=xxxxx&password=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA | od -c
