Guest Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 use this one for example: http://freedns.afraid.org/
etalien Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 getting *.com will cost you money (to register the .com domain) But there also are free domains.. like dot.tk, you get an adress like: http://www.yourdomain.tk fill in your ip there, and I think it ill work.. (maybe, never tried) Why bother?
b0b0 Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 Maybe he means can you enter in the dns of a server rather than the ip in the "Host:" box in the MTA client? I haven't tried that
me Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 This works thusly: When you type an URL (http://www.foo.com) into your browser, a request is sent to the DNS server for the IP (in this example, 105.141.51.103). The DNS server sends the IP to the browser, and then the browser connects to said IP. Same thing with MTA, just replace 'browser' with 'MTA:VC'.

ijsf Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 you mean a hostname, a hostname is, for instance: http://www.multitheftauto.com multitheftauto.com is a domain which is registered in the internet's main DNS servers DNS servers translate these hostnames (multitheftauto.com) to IP's, so actually multitheftauto.com is a link to the IP where the MTA site is hosted.. Anyways, .com, .net and .org and .nl and .de and .co.uk, etc domains cost moneys.. but you can register (sub)domains like blah.servebeer.org for free at sites like http://www.no-ip.com
Combine Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 Go to http://www.dot.tk to get a TK and forward it to your IP address. It's free.
