DynDNS

I had someone ask me if there was a guide to setting up DynDNS, so I decided to make this.

  1. First, sign up there, and then log in.
  2. Under DNS Services, click Dynamic DNS
    • Here there is a bunch of useful information about setting up Dynamic DNS, which may interest and benifit you to read.
  3. Click "Add Dynamic DNS".
  4. Hostname: This is what your domain URL will be. The first part you can enter in whatever you want. Then you must select from the dropdown the 2nd part of the domain.
  5. The IP address is (or should be) automatically detected, and in most cases, can be left alone.
  6. Check the "enable wildcard" box.
  7. Leave Mail Exchanger stuff blank.
  8. Click add host
In a few minutes, the domain should be working. Note, that for complete functionality of a server (which would be the primary use of such a domain), you need to setup your router properly. Also, this should go without saying, but you can not be using a proxy to do this either.

Perhaps in the future, I'll make a more detailed guide on setting up your own personal full-featured web server.
