Looking to buy a grandfathered No-IP account

Does anyone have a grandfathered No-IP free account that they'd be willing to sell?

Or is there a better place to look around for one?

Thanks!

  • The benefit of the No-IP accounts (a friend has one) is that you can create a separate sub account for each client and DNS entry, so I can have their router/device just have access to that hostname and sub account, instead of the whole account.

  • I use DNS with OVH. You have to transfer at least one domain to them.

    Nothing stops you from creating an account for every setup and customer you have using their data.

  • I've had one for years and never knew it had that feature!

    Ugh those guys deleted my account for no reason. Everything I had got f***ed.

    I've also been with afraid.org for at least that long and I'm finally getting tired of spammers constantly trying to register subdomains off my names.

    I moved most domains to dns.he.net but am still waffling over using a bunch of idle vps I have to make my own...

  • When I started needing DynDNS, "DynDNS" (now "Dyn") seemed like the most popular choice. When they decided to start lying to their customers and ultimately abandoned them, I switched to No-IP, then for some reason to some no-name provider. They ended up being awfully unreliable, so I spent an afternoon setting up my own dynamic DNS service and have been happy ever since. :)

    I used a free DynDNS account for many years. At first they changed to "you must check-in every 30 days" and then deleted the free accounts altogether. So I switched to no-ip briefly, but they were also "check in every 30 days" and started sending me a lot of spam, so I switched to freedns.afraid.org.

    I have been using freedns.afraid.org for almost a year with no issues. I am using one of their domains (xxxxxxxxx.mooo.com), in case it matters.

    Yeah, afraid.org is great. Once the .us.to subdomain was down, even for a few days as far as I can remember.

    the mooo.com one also when was seized by tthe long arm of the law because someone was doing something illegal on a subdomain. Nobody is immune from that, Microsoft also pulled a stunt like that invoking malware instead of cleaning up their OS.
    So, better use your own domain.

  • Do you mean groups? I have no idea about users. An old account of mine has groups but I'm not sure what you're looking for.

  • Is that a free account?

    And any idea how many hostnames are you limited to?

  • And yes, I believe they're called groups.

  • How to know you have grandfathered account?
