No-IP has released an updated version of the Linux Dynamic Update Client (DUC). A potential vulnerability for buffer overflow has been discovered in the current Linux version of the client. The buffer overflow vulnerability can possibly be exploited to compromise a user’s computer for the execution of arbitrary code. Older versions of the Linux client are affected too. This vulnerability can be exploited if attacker tricks a user to connect to a fake update No-IP dynamic update server.

No-IP recommends all users running the older version of the Linux DUC 2.1.1 through 2.1.8 to upgrade to the 2.1.9 version and re-run the configuration wizard. This is done by invoking “noip2 -C” at the prompt.

The newest version is available on our website or by following this link.

The .me registry removed their 2 year minimum for registering new domains on Oct 1, 2008. So you can now register .me domains for just 1 year. Our base price is just $29.95 per year. Keep in mind that if you package your .me with No-IP Plus Managed DNS you will receive an $8.00 discount.

Search for your .me today!

Well, it took maybe a bit longer than it should have, but here you have it, the all new No-IP web interface. We are very excited about our new corporate branding and new look and feel for both the front end site and customer control panel.

With the new control panel you can now easily manage your hosts, with sorting features for customer with bulk domains in their accounts. We’ve introduced a whole new checkout system integrating Paypal as payment option (yes we know you’ve been asking for it)

There are many more new things on the horizon and we hope that this freshened user interface makes your experience at No-IP even better.

As always we’d love to hear your comments and suggestions. If there is something you can’t find please contact support via our trouble ticket system

Well, if you are on the Blog you’ll notice the new design for No-IP.

Wed Sept 17th No-IP will be launching its brand new interface, well overdue we think.

Here are some screen shots

Let us know what you think!

.ME is about YOU! .ME has incredible potential for Internet users world-wide. Think about it, with a .ME domain, the Internet will, quite simply, be all about YOU. For the first time in Internet history, domain names are essentially personal.

.ME is expected to be utilized as both a personalized Web address and as a catchy business marketing tool around the world, initially in English

In just a few moments we will begin open registration on the new .me TLD, 8:00 AM PDT to be exact. So stand by and grab that .me domain soon as there should be some pretty good names available.
