Do you offer domain registration?

How do I use Dynamic DNS?

To update your Dynamic DNS records you can use a router firmware such as "Tomato" or "DD-WRT" to hit our custom URL. Or you can use tools such as wget and crontab to handle the API call. It works very simply, once you add an existing record to dynamic DNS you are given a secure or insecure URL to hit with specific GET paramaters.

Secure: https://secure.wtfdns.com/dyndns_update.php
Insecure: http://www.wtfdns.com/dyndns_update.php
