Filling in the Hostname Information
1)
Fill in the Hostname: box with a name of your choosing. It can be anything you like.
If you choose a name that's already in use, an error will be generated and you can
then try a different hostname. Since hostnames are unique per domain, you can try
using the same hostname and just select a different domain from the dropdown box
below to see if that combination is available.
2)
Select an available domain from the dropdown box. Note that certain domains are
reserved for No-IP Enhanced customers only.
3)
Choose the Host Type. The default choice, DNS Host A, is usually the correct one. Do
not choose any of the other host types unless you're trying to solve a particular
problem that a DNS A record won't accommodate. If your ISP blocks Port 80 for
example, and you're trying to run a webserver or other service on port 80, then you
can choose Port 80 Redirect (at that point you'll be asked to specify the port to use
for the redirection). If you're not running a webserver, then do not choose this
option as it will likely prevent you from connecting properly.
4)
In the field marked IP Address: you should already see your current IP address. If
you wish to set the IP address of the host to be somewhere other than your current
location, you can enter that address now.
5)
When you have filled in the information for your new hostname, simply click the
"Create Host" button at the bottom of the page to save it.
Step 5: Making your host dynamic
Now that you have added a host or domain into your account, we have to deal with the
dynamic IP address problem (If your ISP assigns you a static IP address, you can skip to step 6).
If you have a dynamic IP address, you'll need to install No-IP's Dynamic Update Client (DUC).
This is free software available from the downloads section of the site.
After installing the DUC, be sure to configure it with the Email address and password that you
use to login to this site. As long as the No-IP software is properly configured and running, your
hostname will always point to the dynamic IP address at your location, no matter when it
changes
