How do we bind our IP to a godaddy domain?

I sorta regret that I bought my domain from godaddy.com. I used to
use dnsexit. Dnsexit has a client IP updater that updates our IP at
regular intervals. That is very helpful, especially for people who do
not have static IP.

But, godaddy does not seem to have such a client IP updater, and on
their website, they don't talk about how we can update our IP.

It seems to me all they are talking about is domain forwarding, but
that's not what I want.

Any one knows how to bind our IP to a domain name from godday.com?

Thanks.

 

Looks like this is not among their services. What they seem to do is
provide dns service and site hosting.

But, I want to host on my own computer. Too bad, I have signed up for
2 years with godaddy.com. I do not care about the money, but my domain
name.

 

Why not use a client like no-ip.com has, and point godaddy at your no-
ip.com domain which will in turn forward you as necessary. Or keep
using your dnsexit if you still have the service? As for godaddy
exactly, I'm not sure they offer this. Judging from this post a few
months ago on a different site, you are probably SOL without a bandaid
solution such as above. Of course if you can't point at anything
other than a real IP, that may hose you as well. Ditch godaddy or buy
one of their hosting solutions I'm afraid if that is indeed the case.
Sorry!

P.S - I also searched their site and didn't find anything about what
you are looking for.

Hey, thanks. Now I use dyndns.org's free service and have a client IP
updater for that. But the problem is, it does not look professional
to be forwarded from mydomain.dyndns.org to my professional domain
from godaddy.

 

Godaddy won't let you cancel even if you agree to pay them for the 2
year contract?

 

What I was suggesting, is going into Godaddy's domain forwarding and
forward your proper domain to your dyndns hostname, which then has a
client, and will always point to the right IP. While I agree that
this is a band-aid solution, it should do until your contract
expires. I would pursue cancellation and see if you can get any money
back, but if not, you may want to do this as an in-between. I just
logged in and it appears you can re-point to a hostname and not just
an IP address, which should allow this solution to work nicely.

 

Thanks, and I think I did understand your suggestion, but if in *any*
case mydomain.dyndns.org is visible to potential users of my website,
I cannot take this domain forwarding as a solution.

Either I forward from mydomain.dyndns.org to my godaddy domain or the
other way round, there is no way you can hide mydomain.dyndns.org from
the end users, right?

 

OK, just as I was replying to your post, I received a support response
from godaddy.com. They do let us specify the IP address to point to.
But it seems that you have to log into your account and do it
manually.

I have tried it and it is successful. But this is gonna be a big pain
for people like me who do not have a static IP.

 

Yes, you can always change it manually, but I agree with your above
assessment. Either deal with the re-pointing to dyndns which will
have the update client and point to where you need, or get off of
godaddy.

Of course your best option may be to call your provider and ask for a
static IP. They generally offer these for a small per month fee, well
worth fixing this hassle.

 

I looked around at the setting in godaddy, looks like that I can have
my godaddy domain aliased (CNAME) to mydomain.dyndns.org. I tried
this and so far it's been working fine. I deleted the A Record.

If this works, then I will be fine because I do have a client IP
updater for dyndns.org.

 

Same problem arrise

I face the same problem. So i purchase the host from hostmaama.com . Now :lol:

 

I faced the same problem. Thus i purchase the host from hostmaama.com. Now there is no such problem
