Ok so my dad thinks that running a DNS server is the solution to having a dynamic IP and having to update the DNS A Name record every time we reboot the router. :/

@minti Basically he's looking at hosting his website himself, but we have a dynamic IP. I told him so and he said to run our own DNS server. :/ Not sure if troll or not..

@minti Just tell him it's against your ISP's policy (which it almost certainly is)
-
@ceruleanspark It's actually not. :/

@minti Why do you guys have to update DNS records when you reboot the router?
Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:27:12 UTC from web-
@redenchilada New IP = domain no longer points to correct IP cause dynamic IPs suck?
Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:30:13 UTC from web-
@minti Oh, for a domain name. I thought you were talking about something relating to actually getting internet access.

@minti Also couldn't you set something up through dynDNS's service? I know my router is able to ping them my new IP every time I reboot it.
-
@ceruleanspark Yep. But he specifically wants to use a domain he already owns.

@minti Doesn't Dyndns actually have a premium option that lets you do that?
-
@ceruleanspark The main point of doing this is he doesn't want to pay for website hosting.

@minti Just put him on dreamhost and use the "THEFULL96" discount code so he only pays $35 for his first year.

@ceruleanspark Are you still looking for Derp's profile?

@dlcentaur I think Red has it covered

@ceruleanspark He'll find a way to fudge that up too. The main reason he's raging over this (and he is raging trust me.) is cause he couldn't pay for the 1&1 hosting fees and paypal tried to take it out of his empty bank account and he got hit with an insufficient funds charge of like 50$. xD

@minti I like that banks reaction to you having no money is to demand more money from you. It's the real life version of "Keyboard not found, press F1 to continue"
-
@ceruleanspark Yep, this is wht I'm glad I have an overdraft. I'm not hit by huge fees when I accidentally go over by 5 cents. (Although technically going over in itself is bad, but bleh._

@minti I tried to buy a 100 dollar thing on my visa and was only 50 dollars under my credit limit. PayPal kept trying to process the card so many times I literally had over $500 in INSF. And the bank said it's my fault and I have to pay it.
