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. Looks like I'll be trying out no-ip. I just have to figure if the router supports it and yadda yadda. This is new territory, so I'll be discounting the client on the basis it would take someone else less time. Do we ship OwnCLoud 2 or 3? Can somebody fill me in on Mirall? I don't really understand it.
