DynDNS Removed their wildcard hosting. <OMGWTF?!>

Well as i was checking out the other day, DynDNS.com removed their 'Wildcards' function for free members. In most cases, you need a webhost with wildcards in order for the websites to work on other computers. Heres a few things i found out and an alternative site to dyndns.com and no-ip.com

I found upon messaging dyndns about the problem and how i needed the wildcards for my website to function properly i recieved a message 3 days later stating that they cannot change wildcards back and they suggested adding a paid hostname to get my site to work. NO WAY

So i searched around for 2 days looking for a new dns service that has wildcards. Luckily i found one at Enhanced Dynamic DNS Solutions When you sign up and create your dynamic host the wildcards are built right in to the host name. Create the host , Verify your account, wait a few minutes (1-5 minutes) and your done!

So if your having troubles with a server not showing up on other peoples computers with your no-ip or dyndns or even another DNS service try going to changeip.com and set it up.

Note: This is an alternative for people who's router or home computer requires wildcards for dns hosting (usually linksys or belkin routers require that)

I don't understand why someone would need a wildcard in DNS hosting... ? Please link IP 24.77.**.234 to the host your-website.mine.nu ?

I've been running a website (and realm) for 2+ years with free DynDNS service and never had a problem.

Some home computers or routers might need a Wildcard function, thanks for the link (not handy to me, but I'm sure it will be for others. )
Perhaps change your thread title to 'DynDNS Alternative with Wildcards'

I guess its only on certain routers. but making a dynamic DNS with no-ip or dyndns the wildcard function is removed, if you had wildcards set before hand it sticks to your dns so it doesnt remove but if you make a new one, the function is for premium members only.

and sorry for the double post
