DirectUpdate
DirectUpdate allows you to associate a dynamic IP address with a static hostname, and to keep it updated whenever you log onto your ISP. Thus you can have a home ISP account with a dynamic IP address for each login, and still run a Web server, BBS, broadcast mailer, or other Internet service without permanent, dedicated access. Advanced features of DirectUpdate include: Running as a native NT service Remote administration Local and remote IP detection E-mail notification Very small (around 100KB) service footprint. Once DirectUpdate is running, it allows to you maintain a more permanent Web presence. Our Review: Aaah, DirectUpdate is a great program for all of those web enthusiasts who want to have an all singing all dancing hompage, BBS, ftp server without all of the ad's and without the space hassles of a normal, hosted webpage. DirectUpdate lets people who have dynamic IP addresses (anyone with a modem) use static DNS servers. You have to get a free web address first (there are heaps available), but then you can knock yourself out with all of the hosting action you can handle. Of course, your homepage is only up if you are connected to the internet, so don't get too excited.
