What is DNS?

DNS is the technology that ties text-based domain names to the numeric IP Addresses
that are necessary to locate the domain's server on the net.
Without DNS, people would have to visit their
favorite web sites by typing in numbers instead of their names.
provides you reliable DNS service for all .com,
.net, .org, and contry-level domains.

Got a Dynamic IP?
|
Just got your cable installed? Itching to have a personal site on your DSL?
Want to control your own e-mail? Don't want to have to tell friends about
that annoying changing IP address or ISP-assigned hostname? We can help!
Dynamic IP Updates Made Easy |
Simply run curl or wget command to update your dynamic IP for any hosts or domains under your account. |
>> curl https://api.dnsexit.com/dns/ud/?apikey=API-KEY -d host=host1.domain.com,host2.domain2.com |
On any machine behind the router, just schedule a job to run the above command every few minutes. Our system will automatically detect your public IP address and update your hosts to the new IP. Alternatively, you may add parameter -d ip=xx.xx.xx.xx to overwrite the IP. For multiple hosts, just seperate them by , (comma). The API Key can be generated at your account Dashboard -> Settings. |
The return is JSON file with a successfull update like: |
{"code" : 0, "message" : "Success - some details about the update"}
|
code:0 indicates successfull updates while code:1 indicates IP address not changed. Other returning codes indicates errors. |
