I am considering getting some sort of Dynamic DNS service. I currently have a webserver running on a Raspberry Pi and the free version of No-IP. The upper levels of service confuse me with features.
What I want:
To be able to host multiple sites: www.site1.com, www.site2.com, www.site3.com, etc. Probably no more than 5 at the most.
Is there a free service that will provide this? Any recommendedations?
Anyone?
Why not just pay for a host? bluehost is $6 a month?
Otherwise DynDNS is free.
$6/month is more than $0/month
Plus, I kind of enjoy the learning experience dealing with the Pi. I'll check out DynDNS.
DynDNS works for me, you just have to keep clicking their annoying reactivation emails once a month. I don't think they'll give you multiple domains for free but do you really need multiple domains?
I didn't see anything about DynDNS being free? I see several levels of paid service. FWIW, NoIP has the same thing where you have to keep clicking once a month. But my NoIP address is www.something.no-ip.biz and I want a www.something.com address.
At the moment no I don't need multiple sites, in the future, probably. I think I'm just lost with how to associate a domain with a DNS service? Also, what terminology/level of DNS service I would need to purchase
I am using http://freedns.afraid.org/ which is free and seems to work well. I have a tomato firewall i am using it with.
Ah yes I remember DynDNS has completely discontinued new membership for free service now, my bad...
You just need a basic dynamic DNS subdomain.
No matter what option you pick, there's no such thing as a free domain. They're usually $10 a year per domain.
