help Noip FAQ

Is No-IP still free to use for dynamic DNS?

Yes, No-IP's free plan includes up to 3 hostnames. The catch is that you must manually confirm or update each free hostname every 30 days, or it expires — paid tiers remove that requirement and unlock more hosts.

What happened between No-IP and Microsoft in 2014?

In June 2014 Microsoft obtained a court order seizing some of No-IP's domains (operated by Vitalwerks Internet Solutions) as part of a malware-enforcement action, briefly knocking millions of users offline. Service was largely restored within days after the backlash and negotiations.

How does No-IP compare to DuckDNS for free dynamic DNS?

Both are popular free DDNS options: DuckDNS is donation-supported with no 30-day confirmation hassle, while No-IP limits free users to 3 hostnames but offers polished update clients and paid tiers with more hosts and advanced features. No-IP also has a longer track record, dating to the late 1990s.

Can I run No-IP directly on my router instead of an app?

Yes, many consumer routers and NAS devices include a DDNS client that supports No-IP natively in their settings. Otherwise, No-IP provides official update clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux that keep your hostname pointed at your changing IP address.
