Setting
Up Your DNS Records Free Accounts
IP Address:
This box allows you to manually enter an IP address. This
is the address that our DNS servers will direct your traffic
to. Please make sure this is your external routeable IP address.
Addresses that start out 19.168.*.* or 10.*.*.* are not external
routable IP addresses, and are inaccessible from people outside
of your network. After you have either entered your IP address
manually or selected the Automatic IP Resolution button, simply
click the "Update/Add" button. You will then
receive a conformation that the update was accepted by our
DNS server and is now live to the Internet. If you manually
entered in an IP address and then check the Automatic IP Resolution
checkbox, the IP address will revert back to the address detected
by our servers when the application checks for IP address
updates. If the IP address changes at any point while the
application is running in Automatic IP resolution mode it
will automatically send this new IP address to our DNS servers
and the change will go live within 15 seconds. No human intervention
is needed, it is totally automated and no confirmation message
will appear.
Please
Note: If you exit out of the Dynamic DNS App, your domain
will automatically go into off-line mode. Anyone going to
your domain while you're in off-line mode will receive a message
that you are currently off-line similar to this message.
New Features
in 2.0:
The new 2.0 App now allows you to create common sub domains
such as ftp, mail, telnet, etc: Selecting each of these
checkboxes will add a DNS record associating that name with
your IP address. You may select as many as you wish. Please
note that the "george" shown in the example would
actually be your login name.
MX Record:
Selecting this checkbox will add an MX record pointing to
your IP address. Please see our MX
Record help page for more information on this type of
record
