Why would persons pay no-ip and others over $9.0/ month for dynamic dns. When you own your own domain is beyong me. Even worst, you purchased your domain with the likes no-ip.com, and others. They still want you to pay!!
Help me understand the logics.
That is the pro version that is up to 50 different hosts, etc.
The “home” user version that you don’t have to validate every 30 days is 1.99 a month… And they still have a free version as well. You just need to confirm it every 30 days.
True but my understanding with the $1.99/month l can’t use my own domain.
If you own your own domain, no-ip wouldn’t be where I would go no…
I doubt that 9/month price is intended for “home” users… 50 hosts, this seems more suited for a smb that doesn’t really have some senior network engineer setting everything up for them… And more the guy got promoted to IT because hey he knew how to setup the wifi router ;)
For some smb, with a few locations and wanting to have some fqdn point to their changing IP because since well they only have consumer level connections, etc. And they don’t understand how any of it works anyway… 100$ year seems a fairly reasonable price.
Ive been using no-ip.com DDNS for over a decade with my domains. The DDNS client is in my OpenWRT router. It configures ‘myhost.no-ip.com’. In the DNS config for my domain, I just setup CNAME entries for the hostnames I want on my domain, and point them all at myhost.no-ip.com. It works perfect. I pay $25/year for no-ip.com.
