| Re: [PLUG] Fwd: Your Dyn account status will change in 14 days |
I switched to Gandi as my registrar based on some recommendations from the list. Not only do I dig the way they handle configuring DNS, but it looks like they have an API so you could roll your own dynamic DNS. Disclaimer: I haven't tried it myself yet, so I can't say how easy or well this would work. https://github.com/lembregtse/gandi-dyndns https://github.com/jasontbradshaw/gandi-dyndns/ I've been lurking for a while. First time poster. Thanks for all the chatter, you guys keep me busy learning.

I honestly haven't needed to use mine in so long, it probably won't affect me.
