How to Obtain a DNS name from No-IP.com

Click the “create an account” link in AkrutoSync window, next to the “Use my No-IP account” option (see the screenshot).

You will be taken to the No-IP.com signup page. Tick the checkbox “create my hostname later”. Enter your valid email address and create a user name and password. No-IP.com will send you an activation email at the address you enter, so it needs to be your real email address. The password is not your email password. It is a new password that you are creating for your No-IP.com account. Please write it down. You will need this password to enter in AkrutoSync, so that AkrutoSync can set up and maintain your DNS name for you. Click the “Free Signup” button to create an account with No-IP.com.

No-IP.com will send you an email with an activation link. Click that link to activate your No-IP.com account.

Once you complete the above, you do not need to do anything else on the No-IP.com website. You do not need to login to your newly created No-IP.com account. AkrutoSync will do this for you.

Go back to AkrutoSync configuration, select the “Use my No-IP account” option and click “Continue”.

On the next screen, enter your No-IP account information into AkrutoSync and click Login, so that AkrutoSync can log in to your No-IP account.

AkrutoSync will log in to your No-IP account and offer you to generate a DNS name. Click the “Generate” button to generate a new DNS name.

AkrutoSync will generate a DNS name. Click “Continue” as shown in the screenshot below.

To finish setting up AkrutoSync, please continue with the User Guide section Completing AkrutoSync setup to sync over the Internet.
