Getting started
KeepDNS gives your home connection a fixed hostname that follows your changing IP address. Here is the whole setup.
1. Create an account
Sign up and start your free trial. No payment details are needed to begin.
2. Claim a hostname
In the app, type the label you want — for example "myhome" — and create it. Your full hostname becomes myhome.keep-dns.nl.
3. Save your update token
After creating a hostname we show a personal update token once. Copy it somewhere safe — it acts as the password your router or script uses to update the hostname.
4. Start updating
The quickest test is a single request from the machine at home:
curl "https://keep-dns.nl/nic/update?token=YOUR_TOKEN"If it replies with "good" followed by your IP address, everything works. Next, set it up permanently on your router so it keeps updating on its own.
