FAQs: Dynamic DNS at Home

What Is DNS?

Yes — and it always will be. Our free plan gives home users reliable remote access to their devices without any hidden fees or credit card required. You’ll just need to confirm your hostname every 30 days so we can keep the system running efficiently for everyone. If you’d rather skip the confirmations, we offer affordable paid plans starting at just $1.99/month.

Why do I have to confirm my hostname every 30 days, and what happens if I forget?

Free users must confirm their hostname every 30 days to ensure it's still in use, helping us free up inactive ones and keep our system running efficiently. We’ll send you reminder emails — it only takes a click! If you forget, your hostname may be removed and made available for someone else. Want to skip confirmations? Our paid plans keep your hostname active without the 30-day check-ins.

What kinds of home setups use No-IP?

Home users rely on No-IP for all kinds of personal use cases, including:

  • Remotely accessing files or media on a home server
  • Viewing security camera feeds without relying on cloud storage
  • Hosting personal websites, blogs, or portfolios
  • Running game servers (like Minecraft)
  • Managing smart home devices from anywhere
  • Setting up a VPN for secure access to their internal home network
  • Hosting their own email server for more control and privacy
  • Logging into their home PC via RDP or VNC while away
  • Experimenting with development environments or home labs
  • Powering Raspberry Pi projects and other DIY setups

Whether you're a casual user or a full-on home network tinkerer, No-IP makes it easier to stay connected to the things that matter to you.

Is cloud storage a better option than Dynamic DNS?

Cloud storage can be convenient, but security breaches and rising subscription costs make it a risky and expensive choice. Many cloud providers have suffered major hacks, putting personal data and even security camera footage at risk. No-IP’s DDNS service gives you a secure, cost-effective way to access your devices remotely — without storing your data on third-party servers. Plus, with static IPs costing over $20/month, No-IP offers an affordable alternative with added flexibility and control.

Why should I have a VPN?

There are two common types of VPN setups — and No-IP can help with both.

One is the privacy-focused VPN, which routes your internet connection through a third-party server to hide your IP address from websites and services. This type of VPN is great for anonymous browsing and online privacy.

The other is a self-hosted VPN, which is especially useful for remote access. In this setup, you run VPN software on a computer or server within your home network. With Dynamic DNS and No-IP, you can assign a hostname to your network, open a port to your VPN server, and securely access your home network from anywhere — without exposing individual services directly to the internet via port forwarding or complex firewall rules.

Home Connectivity Without the Complexity

Simplify the way you access, monitor, and run your home network. Trust the 25-year experts at No-IP to keep you connected.
