How to Access your PC using a Subdomain
Okay, Today I am going to teach you how to access your PC using a Subdomain, instead of a Hard-to-remember IP address.
Its easy, lets get started !
First goto http://www.pegor.com/your-ip-address/
Copy your IP address, which is shown on the middle of Page.
Now goto http://www.no-ip.com/ and register an account, Then login after activation and every thing.
Click on Hosts / Redirects tab on left side, it will expand.
Then under the Hosts / Redirects section click Add
In Hostname field, type anything you want, like BilalGhouri or MyInernationallyLocalWebsite etc and select a Subdomain.
Choose DNS host(a) as the Host Type.
In IP Address field, type your IP Address which you copied earlier from http://www.pegor.com/your-ip-address/.
Scroll down to the bottom of page and click on Create Host button.
Now we are almost done, but if you have a dynamic IP Address, it will change everytime you reconnect to internet, for this, we will need a Dynamic DNS update Client to update our Subdomain to our current IP Address.
Now goto their Download section choose your operating system.
Download their DNS Update Client.
Install the DNS Update Client. and enter your Login information (same as website’s)
Wait for it to Login Successfully…
After Logging in, Your Subdomains will be displayed on the main window of the DNS Update Client. If its not there, Refresh the Host List window.
Put a check on your Subdomain, If it is already checked then put the check off and again put the check on it.
This will re-update our Subdomain to our current IP Address.
Now you can close the Client.
So now, After everything, You can finally Access your Local Site from anywhere by using this URL: http://YourIPAddress or http://host-you-chose.subdomain-you-chose.com
Just Remember to Update your Subdomain’s IP Address VIA DNS Update Client everytime you reconnect to Internet.
