		equark on Sept 10, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Create a DNS record for an IP address instantly You boot up an ec2 instance and want to give a domain name to a friend that isn't 100 characters long. How much effort does it take you setup your bind solution? Particularly if you've never setup dns before. Can I do this given that I'm not running any other servers? The popularity of dyndns should give you a sense of demand.

DynDNS now limits new accounts to only 2 free subdomains.
