own domain with dynamic IP

[backmailingbox]

hi, I have dynamic IP address at home from my provider. I want to use my NAS DS212 at home with my domain own for example: "example.net". I have an account in no-ip.com as dyn dns service. but I need tu use address as "example.no-ip.org". Is there any ddns provider which provides FREE (not paid) service also for my own domain?

At FreeDNS it seems possible http://freedns.afraid.org

Ok, but how do you set up the DS when it doesn't show in the list among the service providers?
My list only includes:

Freedns.org
zoneedit.com
dnspod.com
changeip.com
dynamic do!.jp
selfhost.de
3322.com
no-ip.com
two-dns.de
dyndns.com

I used to use dyndns.com before but they dropped all the free services up to just resently... I have set up a new account @ afraid.org but I cant figure out how to setup the dyndns in the DS.

I'm not quite sure but at http://freedns.afraid.org/scripts/freedns.clients.php there's different clients for updating IP.

This is from Windows/UNIX clients

Code: Select all

lastip2.php
Client Requirement: PHP
This client will not generate any internet traffic until your IP changes, and checks for a IP change every 5 seconds, fast and efficient.

There is a lot of other clients on there too but I haven't got any experience with FreeDNS or the clients.

Try the 3rd party package ddnsupdater: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=31404&start=0&hilit=ddnsupdater

I've got a solution that works for me:
1) Register a dyndns-account (or similar). Configure your router to update it (most recent routers have this functionality).
2) Register your domain-name. Set the domain-type as CNAME and set it's address to your dyndns-website.

Done! When you're surfing to your own domain you're actually surfing to your dyndns-site. It works fine!

You can also try ZoneEdit - although I found the set up process really confusing.
