One minute may not seem like a lot of time, unless of course you have ever run on a treadmill. However, that is as long as it takes to update a record on the No-IP server. An update is any change made to a hostname or domain name which can include, setting a new TXT record or making an IP address change. The 60 seconds it takes to update the change to your account could be spent doing something productive. So we came up with a list of things you can do while you wait for your record to update! Check them out below.
