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.
