Can you expand on this? You could run your own DNS server and setup the appropriate DNS records at any registrar.

- doctoboggan 14y agoI have a free subdomain from afraid.org. They've given me a URL with a secret key. When that URL is requested afraid updates my records to point my subdomain at the IP the request came from. I don't have a static IP at my apartment, but I have a script that calls that URL whenever my IP changes, allowing me to always have a domain name pointed toward my home server. I am not familiar with operating a DNS server. Would that accomplish the usecase I described above? I would like to set up the same system but with a domain I own and not the free one from afraid.org
- tracker1 14y agoThere are other DNS providers that will do what you want with a purchased domain... you can also use afraid.org for that matter... I put up a domain I wanted others to be able to use for dyndns on afraid.org ...
- doctoboggan 14y agoI remember seeing something about using my own domain on afraid.org. However I use google apps, and I wasn't sure if it was possible or what it would take to keep my email hosted there while still using the dynamic dns. Honestly I don'y have much experience in this area and I don't really know what to research to learn more.
