Use a commercial domain name with a dynamic IP
Authored by: mustang_dvs on Jun 29, '04 06:13:49PM
As in everything else, you get what you pay for, (read through the fine print)...
  • $35 at EasyDNS gets you DNS servers that restart every 12 minutes,
  • $0 at ZoneEdit (for the first five domains that do not exceed their visitor limits) gets you DNS servers that refresh every 2-3 days.
Basically, this means you won't pay a thing, but it looks like you'll have to wait 72-96 hours after you've had an IP switch, before everyone can see your server.

Use a commercial domain name with a dynamic IP

As far as Zoneedit is concerned I have had no problem with them. I run BIND on my machine and have it as the primary nameserver. If I make a change, a quick stop/start of named contacts the zonedit nameservers which then call back to load the new info. I have not seen it take more than a minute to update.

YMMV
