Dynamic DNS Services

I pay for Dyndns. I log in maybe once a year. :shock:

Static IP. :geek:
Setup subdomain on my TLD that is used for my rootserver with my static IP. :ugeek:

David, why do you have a root server?

Erm, why not? :lol:
Personal needs, do-it-yourself education, personal needs, do-it-yourself education.... (it hosts some webpages, nearly a dozen minecraft servers, teamspeak and much more...)

I share the monthly fee (59 €, now with the ram upgrade, 49 € before) with an ex trainee colleague. We initially ordered it as we were trainees and kept it since and upgraded it from a athlon xp to a i7-920 and in april or may this year to a i7-3770 and chose to pick the one with twice ram (32gb, 10 € more expensive). Ten days ago they anounced the new haswell based which includes 32gb right away

Of course. But you're right, only 2TB, but they are now enterprise class! Or you could choose the SSD bundle with 2x240gb SSD.

Interesting, i found out yesterday that my server holds an i7-3770 instead of an i7-2600 ...

This is mine: http://www.hetzner.de/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex4s

S for doubled RAM...

And the new ones feature full Gbit with at least 200Mbit minimum connection! :geek:

No-IP (http://www.noip.com) here! Paid to use with a custom domain.

It was cheaper then DynDNS. My tip is just start registering and stop when asking about payment method. They'll start sending you lots of discounts coupons

That's what happened to me.

I had EXACTLY this question the other day, after a good few years of using DynDNS, I found my subdomain had vanished, and then realised I'd used an old email address.....and then that I had to login every 30 days.

I started was looking at a variety of Dynamic providers - and being a user of OpenDNS, I use their DNSOMatic (http://www.dnsomatic.com) service to keep my network in line with OpenDNS - and DNSOMatic also updated my DynDNS for me - so I had a look at their list of services (http://www.dnsomatic.com/wiki/supportedservices) to see what I could find....

HOWEVER, whilst some were free, some required 30 day logins, or just didn't seem right, or didn't have the subdomain name I wanted, or a domain I liked

So, as I own quite a few domains, I thought laterally...

I decided to just pick ANY subdomain - in the end, I plumped for a subdomain off of anydns.com (from freedns.com) - I just need a non-expiring free dynamic record - name unimportant....

I then setup a CNAME from one of my domains to point to the A record for the dynamic anydns.com subdomain.
Then I setup DNSOMatic.com to update the anydns.com record for me.

And it works

So I've got (a) the subdomain I wanted and (b) my own domain - which just point to the dynamic IP which is updated via my router updating DNSOMatic.

Job done

If you have a domain but no control over the DNS itself, consider hosting with domainmonster.com - they will host your domains for free if you transfer to them for renewals - and give you full DNS control

Nice to see you posting again Pete.

Our Hetzner Domains allow us to control the DNS entrys for subdomains, too.

We use that too, but we have a static IP, so our subdomains route directly to our home IP address.

Nice to see you posting again Pete.

I lurk. To be fair, OMV tends to sit and "do it's job" until I think of something silly/geeky to do. I've just upgraded my LTO1 drive to an LTO3, and am presently backing up my shares to tape.

if u register through dlink, which uses dyndns.com u dont have to login to maintain your account

I created an account like this about a year ago and have had no problems sofar.

I am using a dlink switch at home, so technically i am a customer :twisted:

If you have a domain on namecheap, you can use their dynamic DNS for free.

I documented how I did it here: http://peterjolson.com/setting…c-dns-for-openmediavault/
