- callmeed 12y agoI recall some home routers having the ability to ping a DNS service any time your IP changes. Can't recall the name or router compatibility but might solve the dynamic ip issue.
- pwg 12y agoOne which used to be free, but is not anymore, is DynDns. Run a search for "dynamic dns" and you will find a bunch of providers.
- pwg 12y agoHosting your own email works best with a static IP, but you can "get by" with a dynamic due to the store-and-forward nature of the protocol.
- tejasm 12y agoYou can probably use a service like zzzz.io or DynaDNS. This will eliminate the need for static IP. No?

- pwg 12y agoVery true, but some dynamic dns providers do allow MX records. A list of them is here (found via search, no suggestion of "goodness"): http://www.gnutomorrow.com/best-free-dynamic-dns-services-in-2013/ http://www.gnutomorrow.com/best-free-dynamic-dns-services-in...
