How do we bind our IP to a godaddy domain?

Looks like this is not among their services. What they seem to do is provide dns service and site hosting.

But, I want to host on my own computer. Too bad, I have signed up for

Why not use a client like no-ip.com has, and point godaddy at your no- ip.com domain which will in turn forward you as necessary. Or keep using your dnsexit if you still have the service? As for godaddy exactly, I'm not sure they offer this. Judging from this post a few months ago on a different site, you are probably SOL without a bandaid solution such as above. Of course if you can't point at anything other than a real IP, that may hose you as well. Ditch godaddy or buy one of their hosting solutions I'm afraid if that is indeed the case. Sorry!

P.S - I also searched their site and didn't find anything about what you are looking for.

Hey, thanks. Now I use dyndns.org's free service and have a client IP updater for that. But the problem is, it does not look professional to be forwarded from mydomain.dyndns.org to my professional domain from godaddy.

Godaddy won't let you cancel even if you agree to pay them for the 2 year contract?

What I was suggesting, is going into Godaddy's domain forwarding and forward your proper domain to your dyndns hostname, which then has a client, and will always point to the right IP. While I agree that this is a band-aid solution, it should do until your contract expires. I would pursue cancellation and see if you can get any money back, but if not, you may want to do this as an in-between. I just logged in and it appears you can re-point to a hostname and not just an IP address, which should allow this solution to work nicely.

Thanks, and I think I did understand your suggestion, but if in *any* case mydomain.dyndns.org is visible to potential users of my website, I cannot take this domain forwarding as a solution.

Either I forward from mydomain.dyndns.org to my godaddy domain or the other way round, there is no way you can hide mydomain.dyndns.org from the end users, right?

OK, just as I was replying to your post, I received a support response from godaddy.com. They do let us specify the IP address to point to. But it seems that you have to log into your account and do it manually.

I have tried it and it is successful. But this is gonna be a big pain for people like me who do not have a static IP.

Yes, you can always change it manually, but I agree with your above assessment. Either deal with the re-pointing to dyndns which will have the update client and point to where you need, or get off of godaddy.

Of course your best option may be to call your provider and ask for a static IP. They generally offer these for a small per month fee, well worth fixing this hassle.

I looked around at the setting in godaddy, looks like that I can have my godaddy domain aliased (CNAME) to mydomain.dyndns.org. I tried this and so far it's been working fine. I deleted the A Record.

If this works, then I will be fine because I do have a client IP updater for dyndns.org.
