This website runs on a virtual machine I buy from Slicehost. I’ve also choosen to use their DNS servers for my domain - the service is stable and included in the price.

The Slicehost DNS can be modified using the Slicehost API. I wrote two small scripts for easy modification of Slicehost DNS entries from the commandline or from scripts.

• update_entry, for adding or updating existing entries.
• dhclient_update_hook, which very easily can be used to update an entry from a dhclient script, to keep records that point to dynamic adressess updated automatically.

Both are available from by cloning my misctools project at GitHub.
