BBSip For Windows

What is BBSip? BBSip is a free client application available to update your
favorite Dynamic DNS Service. Written for the Darktech DNS Service (DtDNS),
it allows you to keep a constant hostname that you can remember instead of
the changing IP addresses your ISP assigns you. With this application and
the DtDNS Service, you will be able to host web pages, run game servers, or
even host a BBS service right from your own home*.

BBSip for Windows consists of three applications :

MiniCon: which is a program that sits in your taskbar and waits for a new
connection to update the DtDNS Service
The Configurator: which is a program that lets you configure BBSip
The Updater: The program that gets executed upon a update request.

Here is a screen shot of the Configurator :

Those interested may want to take a look here (first page I posted didn't
mention this but I have a feeling they're connected and thus, the first
requires this one before using it.........)

************************************************************
Dynamic Hostname Services
http://www.dtdns.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=info.hosts

Using DtDNS, you can get a hostname (ex: you.ourdomain.com) on one of our
domains that will "follow" your Internet connection, even on a dynamic IP
address. This means that you can now make a name for yourself on the
Internet, without the usual high costs of a static IP address or full domain
name. You are now able to operate your web, ftp, telnet, or other Internet
server on your dialup, cable or DSL connection.

Even if you change Internet providers, take your computer to a friend's
house, or decide to get a static IP address, your DtDNS hostname will follow
you wherever you go.

Pricing

Up to five hostnames FREE, unlimited hostnames for a one-time $5.00 fee.

Key Features

Speed - IP address changes are generally out on the Internet within a few
minutes of the change request on our server. You can use an automated update
client to get IP address changes to our system within a few seconds after
your IP address changes.

Reliability - We have DNS servers placed on separated networks in multiple
geographic locations. If one of our DNS servers goes down, the others will
automatically assume the load.

Wildcards - DtDNS hostnames allow you to have a wildcard for your host, so
anything.yourhost.dtdns.net will point to your computer if this feature is
enabled.

Offline Handler - There are bound to be times when you are not going to have
your computer online. DtDNS will display an offline notice to your web
visitors when you set your host as being offline, or we can point your
hostname to any pre-determined IP address you specify, or even send your web
visitors to a designated web page.

Update Groups - Assign your hostname to an Update Group for easier IP
updates if you manage multiple hostnames or domains.

Custom MX Records - Enhanced hostnames allow you to have multiple custom MX
records for your hostname. Define up to 4 MX records for your hostname and
point them any server you would prefer your e-mail to be delivered to. This
feature is fully compatible with web-based e-mail service from providers
like Everyone.net.

Heartbeat Monitor - If you have an unreliable Internet connection, DtDNS can
automatically set your hostname as being "offline" if an IP update is not
sent to our server within a specified time limit. This will cause your web
visitors to see your offline notice instead of not being able to connect at
all.

Cloaked URL Redirection - Hostnames also have the ability to cloak the
offline URL redirection using a frameset. You can also define the title and
meta tags for the main frame.

Steve,

Does DtDNS have a free service?

At $5 1-time for sign up, it's no big deal, but I think I may have missed
something.

Regardless of free or not, is DtDNS reliable?

I've had nothing but problems from other dynamic DNS services. I've been
left hanging out there in the breeze many times, so I gave up.

Bob,
I have no idea if it's reliable or not as I've never used them (have no
need to). As for the prices, it was free when I posted it \
