Setting up Dynamic DNS

hellarda · 24 Jul 2015 at 09:31

Morning,

We have just changed ISP due to plusnet not offering FTTP products. We are now with BT who don't allow you to have a static IP address. I need to be able to access stuff at home to remote into etc, which didn't use to be an issue with plusnet as we had a static IP.

I have been doing a bit of research and it looks like I need some dynamic DNS setup or something?

Could someone give me a quick run down of whats needed in order to access my home network from outside using this? I have my own domain name with vidahost if that helps.

Cheers

Ali

Choose a name with someone like noip.com.
In your router it should hopefully have some dynamic dns settings to enter the provider as noip and your noip address.

If you are with BT business you can have a static for something like £5 extra per month.
