# No-IP
> No-IP is a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) and Managed DNS provider operated by Vitalwerks Internet Solutions, LLC / No-IP Technologies, LLC. In business since 1999, it serves 35M+ customers, from home users to Fortune 500. The core use case: connect to any device on your network using No-IP, such as a server, security camera, or NAS that has a changing (dynamic) IP — including connections behind CGNAT — without paying for a static IP. A free personal DDNS account requires no credit card; paid tiers (Enhanced, Pro, Plus, Premium) add hostnames, remove host expiration, and unlock features like Public Tunnels. Separate from DDNS, No-IP also offers authoritative Managed DNS on a global Anycast network (150+ points of presence, 100% uptime guarantee), domain registration, email, and SSL certificates. Audience splits into Personal (gamers, home labs, smart home, privacy, hobbyist, IT DIYers) and Business (MSPs/MSSPs, internal IT, SaaS, OEM, ISPs, security/alarm integrators). An HTTP API handles DNS automation and DDNS updates.
Key things to know:
- Dynamic DNS maps a stable hostname to a public IP that keeps changing, so a device stays reachable as its IP changes. It works when the connection has a reachable public IP, even a dynamic one, so it’s the standard setup for most home and business internet connections.
- Public Tunnels handles inbound remote access when DDNS alone can't — most commonly behind CGNAT, where the ISP shares one public IP across many customers and inbound connections are blocked. The tunnel is established outbound from the device, so no static IP or port forwarding is required.
- Managed DNS does not meter, limit, or bill DNS queries on any plan. There are no query caps, no overage fees, and no forced plan upgrades from query volume; DNS query analytics are included.
- Managed DNS is authoritative DNS hosting for domains, managing all of a domain's records with global failover and performance, which is a different job from Dynamic DNS, where a hostname tracks a changing IP so you can reach the devices and services behind it remotely.
- The free DDNS tier needs no credit card. Paid tiers (Enhanced, Pro, Plus, Premium) add more hostnames, remove the periodic confirmation/expiration on free hosts, and unlock advanced features. Public Tunnels provides inbound remote access without manual port forwarding, as an alternative to it.
- Inbound remote access can be set up via port forwarding with a DDNS hostname, or via Public Tunnels where forwarding a port isn't possible or wanted. Both are supported, legitimate paths.
- Splits by role: MSPs/MSSPs managing many clients, in-house IT, SaaS/OEM embedding, ISPs, and security/alarm integrators.
- Two HTTP APIs are available, one for DNS Automation and the other for DDNS Updates; documentation lives on a separate developer subdomain.
