Posted January 4, 2016 You need to purchase a domain name Case: NZXT Phantom PSU: EVGA G2 650w Motherboard: Asus Z97-Pro (Wifi-AC) CPU: 4690K @4.2ghz/1.2V Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Ram: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB 1866mhz GPU: Gigabyte G1 GTX970 Storage: (2x) WD Caviar Blue 1TB, Crucial MX100 256GB SSD, Samsung 840 SSD Wifi: TP Link WDN4800 Donkeys are love, Donkeys are life.

Posted January 4, 2016 How much would they cost? Depends on who you buy them from and the name, if it's a short URL, like cat, it will cost a lot more. Google recently launched their domain service which you can see here: https://domains.google.com/about/. https://www.namecheap.com/ is also good. I think the minimum is $12/year Case: NZXT Phantom PSU: EVGA G2 650w Motherboard: Asus Z97-Pro (Wifi-AC) CPU: 4690K @4.2ghz/1.2V Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Ram: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB 1866mhz GPU: Gigabyte G1 GTX970 Storage: (2x) WD Caviar Blue 1TB, Crucial MX100 256GB SSD, Samsung 840 SSD Wifi: TP Link WDN4800 Donkeys are love, Donkeys are life.

Posted January 4, 2016 I found this: https://freenom.com would that be any good? I'm trying to register a .tk domain And, should I "Forward This Domain" or "Use DNS" I'm not sure I don't actually have a lot of knowledge on this Case: NZXT Phantom PSU: EVGA G2 650w Motherboard: Asus Z97-Pro (Wifi-AC) CPU: 4690K @4.2ghz/1.2V Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Ram: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB 1866mhz GPU: Gigabyte G1 GTX970 Storage: (2x) WD Caviar Blue 1TB, Crucial MX100 256GB SSD, Samsung 840 SSD Wifi: TP Link WDN4800 Donkeys are love, Donkeys are life.

Posted January 4, 2016 Could I use No-IP for sure. They even have an auto IP updater in case in changes. Domain names kinda suck but it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
