Dynamic DNS client version 2.0x allows you to easily create and manage profiles for different hosts and domains that you wish to dynamically update. As an example, let assume that you wish to dynamically update the IP address of http://www.exampledns.com and http://exampledns.com .
The first thing we need to do is to enable Dynamic DNS for the domain exampledns.com. The next step is to create an A record for the host www and @. Then, you need to launch the downloaded Dynamic DNS client version 2.0x on your computer and create a profile for each host.
To create a new profile for exampledns.com, click on the Manage Profiles tab in the Dynamic DNS client and "New". Enter the host as @, domain as exampledns.com, enter the Dynamic DNS password, select the "Auto detect my IP address" option and choose how often to update the client. Click Save. To see the current status of this profile, select the "Welcome!" tab.
In order to use Dynamic DNS for www.exampledns.com, you will need to create another profile by clicking on the "New" button one more time. Enter the host as www, domain as exampledns.com, enter the Dynamic DNS password, select the "Auto detect my IP address" option and choose how often to update the client and then click on Save.
NOTE: The values for the host name and domain in the URL must be of the same case (lowercase/uppercase) as in your account.
If the domain is shown as ExampleDns.com in your Dashboard, enter it in the same way: ExampleDns.com. If it shown in lowercase, like exampledns.com, add just exampledns.com.
If you wish to use Namecheap Dynamic DNS Client with any other subdomain, a new profile should be created for it same way as described above (the host field should be filled in with your subdomain only).
NOTEs:
1) Namecheap Dynamic DNS Client V2.0 (2.0.0.6) NEW Beta: Time interval problem fixed
2) Please ENSURE that you use the Dynamic DNS password in the client. Do not use your Namecheap user account’s password.
Troubleshooting
This application stores profiles in
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Dynamic DNS Client\Profiles.xml file. The profiles are automatically carried over when you download a new version.
Ensure that this file is not tampered or corrupted. In the event of this happening, kindly delete the whole file, the application will then create a fresh file to start with.
