Description

EuroDNS provides a free service to update your IP for your dynamic domains in your EuroDNS account.

This service allows hosts of domains registered through EuroDNS to be assigned to a computer with dynamic IP Address. Most of customers of any Internet Service Providers (ISP) needs it for running any server application on their computer (FTP or Web Server by example).

Activate EuroDynDNS for one of your domain

Dynamic DNS hosts must be activated in the DNS configuration area of your domain.

This service only works for domain using our nameservers. Round Robin DNS Records are not compliant with EuroDynDNS service.

For any question, please contact our support team support@support.eurodns.com

Agent Access

If you register domains for your customers and they need to use the EuroDynDNS Service, here is the way to proceed.

Create a new domain folder in your EuroDNS Account, then move the domain in the folder. Once it's done, you need to create a Folder Manager with Config Rights. Just provide the new access to your customer.

Agent can only be created on folders, so it is not possible to have an agent just for a dynamic hostname.
