Host Domain With Dynamic IP


The Little Guy

Recommended Posts

I have a dynamic IP address, and port 80 blocked (So I use port 3333) and I was wondering if anyone had any solutions to use a domain with that. I would like to register a domain under godaddy. I have see some sites were it masks the urls, so if I go to:

http://mysite.com

 

Then click on a link that takes me to:

http://mysite.com/somepage.php

 

the URL then still displays:

http://mysite.com

 

I would like to have a way around this, does anyone know of any free solution?

I was using no-ip like 5+ years ago which I hear is a similar service. I am currently not on my computer to test this, but doesn't that still mask the URL doing it like that?

 

found this:

- Go to your DNS manager and create a DNS CNAME entry for your domain (abc.com) and make it go to your free no-ip subdomain (xyz.redirectme.net)

Install bind to set up a dns server. This will "bind" the port to the main domain.

http://www.isc.org/software/bind

 

Then configure your settings through somewhere like godaddy that has all the options.

 

There are tutorials and plenty of documentation out there better than I can explain it.

 

For apache:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/bind.html

Before I try, will this work with a port OTHER than port 80?

 

DNS resolves a domain name to an IP address. It has nothing to do with ports. If your trying to make http://foo:3000 work without needing the port on the end of the domain you will need to use some sort of iframe solution.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if hosting a web server is against your isp's TOS anyway, considering they block port 80.

Okay! I have gotten it to work!

 

One question I now have is why does this work:

http://www.weblyize.com

 

and this not work:

http://weblyize.com

 

Oops! Google Chrome could not find weblyize.com

Did you mean: www.­weblyize.­com

Additional suggestions:

Access a cached copy of weblyize.­com

Search on Google:

 

 

What would cause that? Apache? Bind? Godaddy?
