I will explain how to set this up using a particular provider of this service, <a href="http://www.dyndns.org" target="_blank">DynDns.com</a>. You'll want to visit this company's site, create an account, and then click on the &quot;Services&quot; link at the top of the page. On the page you are taken to you will click on &quot;DNS Services&quot; on the left hand side, and you'll either want to select the <a href="http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/" target="_blank">Dynamic DNS</a> or <a href="http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/custom/" target="_blank">Custom DNS</a> service. The Dynamic DNS service is free, while the CustomDNS service costs 24.95 a year. Take a look at the difference in features and see what works for you. Personally, I chose the Custom DNS service because 24.95 a year is cheap and it offers a few features and better support. This tutorial assumes you are using the Custom DNS service, but I believe the user-interfaces to each system are close enough (if not the same) for you to follow along if you choose the Dynamic DNS service instead.</p> <p><a href="http://thoughtshapes.com/SelfHosting/DynDnsPartOne.htm">read more</a></p> http://thoughtshapes.com/SelfHosting/DynDnsPartOne.htm#comments Hosting Sat, 02 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0500 Steve Seymour 36 at http://thoughtshapes.com
