dhs.org In Beta 37
TC writes "It looks like Domain Host Services (created by three former members of ml.org) is in beta test mode. I signed up for my name this morning and it is active now. It's a free service like ml.org was. They won't be getting the ml.org domain however :(. "
What is DynDNS? (Score:1)
When my system dialed in, it used to update pathwalker.ml.org with it's current ip address, this made it easy for me to find my system when I wasn't home...
Yes, we're getting ready. (Score:1)
Static/Dynamic - What of someone inbetween? (Score:1)
Which service should I use? I hate to put the load on your machine that DynDNS adds, but it's a PITA when I'm away from my machine, my IP changes and all services are inaccessible 'till I get back, reregister, etc...
What are you going to do about the preventing buggy clients? Provide your own and insist (or otherwise ensure) that they be the only ones used?

Well Ive signed up already, and my chosen name is active, so thanks guys and good luck. It makes a hell of a difference having a name rather than just an ip. Now I need to work out how to run a web server properly

Hey, and if you visit the DHS web site, be sure to e-mail me your comments - what you want changed, what you really like. We're making a new design that will hopefully bridge the gap between the regular and members NIC.

Oh yeah, and once you have some info on what (non-PERL or DNS hackers) I can do to help, I'll volunteer. I don't really need the service any more, but it is a damn good idea and should be supported.
Will it be more successful than ML? (Score:1)
How will this be more successful than Monolith, in terms of being able to support the services financially?
I'm not trying to criticize -- this is a serious question.

You should know better. It's ALWAYS more complicated than that.
I will give you though that one of the many reasons was a disconnect between management and the workers.
But it's not that simple...
Good luck in any case. There are a lot of lessons
you will only learn through experience.

One goal of us at DHS is to avoid the pitfalls into which we ran at Monolith, like abuse, buggy DynDNS clients hammering our server, a poor password reset system, and an unmanageable contact address (ml@ml.org always had at least 500 and usually 1000 unanswered messages in the queue).

What is DynDNS? (Score:1)
Of course, ML's DYNDNS service was never the most reliable thing in the world to begin with...if DHS can do better, I'll be very, very happy about things.
A couple of notes...Linux Gazette [linuxgazette.com] had an article about using DynDNS services, complete with scripts, in one of their back issues--I think it was the January one. There is a commercial DynDNS service, DynDNS.Com [dyndns.com], that charges $25 a year for DynDNS service, too.
Also, for the DHS folks...did you know that there is a Dynamic IP hosting system for Linux out there? It's called GnuDIP--check Freshmeat for it. I haven't looked at it myself, but maybe it'll have some stuff you can use in it.
Good luck, and I have to say I can't wait 'til I can have terrania.(dyn.)dhs.org!

GnuDIP also allows you to run your own ml.org if you have linux.
