Right. I suppose I should have made it clear that if there is a free option, that would be preferred. I think DynDNS or some such may be somewhat more secure though.
perhaps, but if access to the OwnCloud site is the only goal, a domain name is cheaper.
That only is true IF the person the OP is helping has a static IP. If they have an ISP that assigns a dynamic IP from a pool, then you have to use an option like DnyDNS (or other like it) to track the ever changing IP address. My current ISP gives me a new IP address every 24 hours whether I need one or not. You can't set your domain name to your IP if it's a moving target.
have to admit that i have no experience with OwnCloud. because roger asked if a domain name was needed, i assumed there was some OwnCloud internal arrangement to bind the cloud instance to a domain. if that's not possible he'd have to get a static IP, which also costs extra. simple math then, which comes cheaper: static IP + domain name, or DynDNS, if that's really safer than no-ip (which was free last time i checked, but that wasn't very recently. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
