any alternatives to dns2go?

[ojai00]

If you're using dns2go, you probably know that they're switching to a subscription model at $14.95/month. I was just wondering if there is any other software out there that can do the same thing as dns2go but is free. I'm using an XP box, but I'm not sure how DNS works. If anyone has any suggestions or links to where I can learn more about DNS, that would be great. Thanks in advance for any help that you may be able to provide.

http://www.zoneedit.com if you own your own domain name.

http://www.dyndns.org if you don't.

WTF!

Nice of them to email me to tell me :| As usual their website is bloody slow again, so i can't even check this out myself!

If it was $14.95 per year then that would be OK, but that is a rediculous price to pay per month!

It's supposed to go into effect in October, so they'll probably be sending out notices soon. Do these services allow you to specify port numbers? DynU doesn't

It is $15 per YEAR, and deep discounts for existing members.

New Pricing Structure for Deerfield.com?s DNS2Go
Gaylord, Michigan - Deerfield.com®, a leading provider of Internet optimization and connectivity software, announced that it will shift to a paid model for it?s dynamic DNS service, DNS2Go, on October 1, 2002.

DNS2Go is a Domain Name System that makes computers accessible anytime, anywhere by associating a domain name of the user?s choice to their currently assigned IP address.

"DNS2Go was initially designed as a service to complement our other products," said Carson Mantooth, Product Manager for DNS2Go. "Most of our product line targets small to medium business owners. By introducing a paid model structure, we hope to align DNS2Go more with our target audience."

On October 1, DNS2Go pricing will start at $14.95 a year for a single domain. As with all other Deerfield.com products, a fully functional 30-day trial will be available.
