OVH@Home
What is OVH@Home ?
OVH@Home is a DynDNS updater for ovh.com. It updates your domain DNS record with your current computer IP address so that your Mac can act as a server (web, ftp ...)How does it work ?
OVH@Home calls a script hosted on an external website to detect your public IP address. Then it sends that information to the DynDNS server from ovh.com with your domain name, your username and your password so that your domain can be updated.How to use it ?
OVH@Home is very easy to use. Just type your domain name, ovh username and password.
Click on "Update Now" (or "Detect IP" if you want to make sure that your IP hasn't change) and that's it !
OVH@Home will then check every 5 minutes if your IP address is still the same and update if necessary.
Why was it created ?
As I couldn't find any easy way to update OVH DynDNS server for my domain, I built this little application.No complicated setup or UNIX script, install OVH@Home and let it do the work for you.
Don't want it to check your IP address every 5 minutes? Close it.
