I'm currently running a server at home, but I have a dynamic IP. So I subscribed to a dynamic dns service(dlinkddns.com). I made all the correct settings in my own network, and the ip updates perfectly.
The problem is that I have a domainname(let's say: "example.com"), and I want to set the root domainname without any prefixes ("example.com") to CNAME to my dlinkddns domain. But my domain name DNS host says I can't do that(it's "not allowed"). I can do it for "www.example.com" etc. and that works perfectly, but just not for the root domain name. Anyone knows a solution to this?
Which DNS host are you using ? It sounds like their software wants an

to have a prefix to the Domain like www.domain.com for a reason. – Jonathan Ross – 2011-03-31T14:00:11.277I use a Dutch one: www.webreus.nl . So if it might just be their software screwing me over? :P – None – 2011-03-31T14:02:39.407
I'd ask them for help or check documentation. – Jonathan Ross – 2011-03-31T14:28:18.737
