From time to time we’re asked about using hardware Dynamic DNS clients built in to some routers. While initially that seems to be a great idea, it can really be troublesome to debug customer problems when they’re using firmware DDNS implementations.
We’ve posted a new article in our Guides and Tips section that fully describes the advantages of the No-IP DUC software. You can click here to read the complete article.
True story: A No-IP employee recently had his house broken into while away for a weekend. If he had a few security cameras hooked up he might have been able to catch the thieves red-handed.
This busy holiday season you have better things to do than worry if your house is still standing while you’re on vacation. Did you know that you can use No-IP to provide access to your security cameras over the web when you’re away from home?
It’s quite simple really. Using a No-IP domain name, some readily available cameras, and a PC-based (or standalone) Digital Video Recorder (DVR), you can access the cameras from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. To find out more on how you can use No-IP, have a look at this article from the Guides and Tips section of our website.
No-IP is constantly providing updates to its FAQ with new and insiteful information to insure the best user experience. This most recent development is something that we are very excited about.
The FAQ is now available in French! We hope that all of our French speaking users enjoy this new addition to our support section. In addition to French, No-IP’s FAQ is available in Spanish and English.

No-IP.com is proud to announce support for Private Registration for domain registration.
For those of you that are not familiar with this, private registration allows you to retain your privacy after purchasing a domain. Instead of having your information and contact email address published to the WHOIS database, an alternate set of information will be used. When someone looks up your domain in the WHOIS database they will see the private registration contact information, not yours. The private registration provider will then act as an in between or third party to keep people from directly contacting you or seeing your information. This is most useful to keep your contact information away from spammers, scammers, stalkers or any other un-wanted person. To find out more about No-IP.com’s private registration take a look over here.
