I didnt pay extra cost. I am having dynamic IP only. i will use updater client which will update "freedns" when my ip changes. BTW i am not going to host any service for 24x7, If i want to share a java project, i will put it in server & tell my friend (to whom i have to send the project) to download it and then i will stop the server. > > > I did this for learning purpose and also it is easy to share any files to my > > friends by asking them to download from my server instead of uploading to > > another site and sending a link to them. > > Great.
