Configure a dynamic IP with DynHost
Connect your router to a subdomain using dedicated credentials.
IPv4 and IPv6, restricted and revocable accessGuide contents
Before you begin
- A delivered domain and a signed-in customer account.
Create credentials#
- Open DynHost. Choose a free subdomain and IPv4 or IPv6.
- Create access and immediately save the username and secret: the secret is displayed only once.
- Configure a custom DynDNS provider in your router: server newtata.com, HTTPS, HTTP Basic authentication.
- Use /nic/update?hostname=home.your-domain.com&myip=YOUR_IP. The IP must be supplied explicitly; the first update creates the DNS record.
Results and frequency#
| Response | Meaning |
|---|---|
| good IP | The IP was published. |
| nochg IP | The zone already contained this IP. |
| badauth / nohost | Incorrect credentials, revoked access or unauthorised name. |
| 911 | Temporary failure or rate limit; try again later. |
Security and revocation#
Each access is restricted to one subdomain and IP family. No Newtata token is sent to the router. Use HTTPS and save the secret in your password manager.
Updates must be at least 30 seconds apart. Prefer five minutes and avoid immediate repeated attempts after an error.
Revoking access disables its updates and retains the DNS record. Revoke before manually editing that name. DynHost requires MarocTech-managed nameservers.
