DNS Accounts Hits Per Month

why would you need more than 500000 hits per month ???
I´ve been using dns for more than 4 years without ever a hint of a problem..

It's $15 per year (bout £9) considering how often you'd use it, worth paying for IMO. Then you don't have to worry about the 90 day log in and that nonsense.

I'm not 100% certain, but I reckon the DNS only gets a hit when connecting.
After that, cccam knows the route to your IP.

like I say more than 4 years and I´ve never had or heard of anything about 90 day log ins or "hits"..
in fact the only complaint I´ve ever come across was that a user was entering + updating/refreshing his IP too often...
but as lfc4ever says ,,its only a few bob to not have to worry about "such nonsense"
10 peers?' what do you reckon servers with 70/80 peers would have to do if that was the case¿¿?
I pose the question that´s all ;)

I have actually heard of 1 occasion of someone losing his DNS on the 90 day rule.
If you use the auto DNA updater then I think it counts as logging in, so nothing to worry about.

Own was disabled using the updater on crappy windows cause I never logged into the site within 90 days, after I enabled it again, seen what it cost, and considering I benefit from it, I now pay yearly for it.

Maybe rules have changed since I used the freebie version? either way they deserve the few quid for the year.

I best start logging in lol
I use the windows updater too.

alternative would be to re establish the host after they cancel it..although updater has never failed me ( touch wood)

300 seconds!?!?!

PMSL have you lost your mind????

The pro updater has a abusive update threshold of around 1 hour (pro = paid for)

So updating every 5 minutes is completely over the top.

You have to think to yourself, how often does my ISP change my IP address?

The lease expiration can be checked via ipconfig /all or ifconfig or even by looking at your router and checking the expiration time, even then they can give you back the same IP.

4 to 6 hours even 24 hours is more than enough for updating, unless you have a really crap ISP "eircom is really crap :)"

Constantly hammering your dyndns/no-ip to check your IP is uptodate is just silly.

that is exactly what i was talking about overusing it!!!!! most IPs change every 2-3 days,,
as lfc says , you only have to look at router line confg to see the lease expiry,,,
even eircom(irish isp) do it to "encourage" you to ask for a static IP (non dynamic) and pay the extra monthly...
I still maintain that after 4 yrs of using dns I´ve never had any hassle, mind you I do change host every so often ;)

If you haven't logged in coming up to 90 days they throw you an email reminder saying so.
