The following example shows, how to run a server at home with zoneedit.com and your own domain:
Example with zoneedit.com
On zoneedit.com:
1. Create an account on www.zoneedit.com.
2. Add a zone with the name of your registrated domain (for example: example.com).
3. Select your zone for editing.
4. Add a new ip address with a subdomain of your
web server (for example: www) and the current ip address of your internet connection.
Now, zoneedit.com is ready for service.
On your server:
1. Configure your web server
2. Add an entry on the scheduler list (for example: crontab):
wget -E -T 600 -t 1 --http-user=[your account name]
--http-passwd=[your password]
'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=www.example.com' -o
/var/log/wget_www.example.com
This entry should execute every hour.
That's it!
Now, your server should be reachable on the internet with your domain (example: http://www.example.com)
