Hey Gook are you trying to find out if Godaddy suports IP pointing to your IP Address , I don't have a domain with them so I don't know if they do. Also check out that Multiple Domain Script that BLUE Dog made. 8)

You'll need a DNS record.

you can get free DNS pointing from ZoneEdit.com

you'll need to enter their DNS servers in your godaddy account.

Then setup the records at ZoneEdit.com to point to your machines IP

And here's a tutorial http://www.dslwebserver.com/main/fr_index.html?/main/sbs-zoneedit-registration.html

Hmmm - I notice that you are using port 81 - I assume that your ISP is blocking port 80 ? Then you need to read this :

You don't USE a Domain Registrar to do IP-pointing, etc - that is what DNS services are used for. You are confusing the 2 things. You REGISTER with a domain registrar, then you use a DNS service to manage where that domain gets pointed. Many registrars provide basic DNS as a freebie add-on, however.

no-ip doesn't offer any unique services whatsoever - the options they provide on free plans are extremely limited. You gotta pay for extra features. Those extra features and many more are available from a large number of other companies FOR FREE - and even then most of the plans at no-ip are still just a sub-domain, rather than a true domain (and what looks better?)
Adding insult to injury, purchasing a domain from no-ip is very expensive, about 3 times the going rate ( $19 per year 8O )

But, since you are so keen on them Karasu Kami, what you should do is sign up for their affilliate program, so each time you post their URL you can earn a clickthru :
