EveryDNS Dynamic DNS Info

What: Dynamic DNS gives you the ability to control the 'A' record of your domains dynamically.

How: Our dynamic dns is a 3 step process. First, set your domain's nameservers to ns1, ns2, ns3, and ns4.everydns.net with your registrar. Second, add the domain to your account at everydns.net with the dynamic radio button checked. Third, download and use the client we provide. If you are running on unix, you may need to install MIME::Base64 (perl -MCPAN -e 'install MIME::Base64'). If you run Windows, we recommend you use Matt's client below or install ActiveState's perl or Cygwin. Then either run our client on boot or at scheduled intervals; we recommend no quicker than once every two hours, and please not at the hour or half-hour.

Where can I get the client: Download the perl client here.

Where can I download a better client: Download the Windows client by Matt Whitlock here. Matt recommends that you use the -quiet option and put it in the Windows task scheduler to run every two hours or so. We also have the source code to Matt's client here.
