IPv6 DynDNS

Since my provider decided to downgrade me to DS-Lite I am reliant on AAAA-records to access my domains. The IPv6 address rarely changes but when it does I don´t want to manually update the records. I know it has been asked for a few years ago, but I´d like to express interest again so you know demand exists.

It just takes an upgrade to the api to not update the A- but the AAAA-record.
The alternative would be to botch some curls to the page but that seems unnecessaryly complicated and unstable.

As far as I know, that hasn't been coded into Zoneedit yet. We do have IPv6 DYN records available via EasyDNS, though that is a paid DNS service.

How To Use Dynamic DNS - easyDNS Knowledge Base

Dynamic DNS service is used to keep a domain name pointing to the same computer or server connected to the Internet despite the fact that the address (IP address) of the computer keeps changing. This service is useful to anyone who wants to operate a server (web server, mail server,…

Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.

Regarding IPv6/AAAA, for the ‘myip’ parameter in the DYN update call, you can now pass an IPv6 address. Be sure to escape special characters like colons with %3A and forward slashes with %2F as necessary in IPv6 addresses. For example, the IPv6 address 2400:cb00:2049:1::a29f:1835 would be escaped in a DYN update url as &myip=2400%3Acb00%3A2049%3A1%3A%3Aa29f%3A1835


I will again relay your expressed interest in having that added to Zoneedit.
 
As of now my home server is not important enough to lay subscription money down for. But I guess the argument goes both ways in terms of ZoneEdit prodiving this feature for free... Anyway it´s good to know that there is a provider that even offers IPv6 DynDNS. I´ll keep that in mind.
The fast reply is very much appreciated.
