well, i guess i was too late ... i just went to www.dyndns.com and discovered that they no longer offer free accounts ... $50 a year is not an outrageous amount, but i'd still prefer a free service ...
does anyone have any other recommendations on where to find a free dns service ? thanks. kennM ----- Original Message ----- From: "Franki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 11:00 PM Subject: RE: [newbie] what to use for hostname > yup, that rocks, > > mine is gshop.kicks-ass.net > and I got it from dyndns. > > > rgds > > frank > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Randy Kramer > Sent: Friday, 4 January 2002 6:39 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [newbie] what to use for hostname > > > Dave Sherman wrote: > > This is partially true.
