Seems unlikely given the first month free, which is not dissimilar to the service I suggested where you have to re-register every 30 days.

Two ideas: First, If you are looking for (1) a free domain name with (2) the capability to automatically update the dns record whenever the IP address of a host changes, such as the dyndns free service previously did, then I wonder if it may be possible to 1. use a free domain name from here: http://www.dot.tk/en/index.html?lang=en which is managed by Freenom, who also have 3 other TLDs to select from: http://www.freenom.com/en/freeandpaiddomains.html and 2. if you are good with scripts, whether it may also be possible to use a script to update the dns records in either (a) the DNS servers managed by Freenom for you domain, or (b) some DNS servers managed by yourself (though I am not sure you could run a DNS server on an IP that itself may be dynamically changing) When I looked last at .tk (when dyndns stopped being free) I could not see how to update the dns records dynamically from my own host, but there may be some better guidance around, these days. Second, If you are happy to pay for a domain, you could consider a registrar such as Gratis DNS ( https://web.gratisdns.dk/ ). With this registrar, you can update the dns A record dynamically with a single http command. I do this, using a wget http blah,blah command, for a host that we have on a dynamic IP that we use for some backup/alternate connectivity. regards, Ron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

While checking around to see if much had changed since I last looked, I see that Wikipedia reports some unease around the usefulness of .tk, so the service may not be suitable for your requirements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.tk I've never used them, so I don't have any actual experience to offer. regards, Ron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
