Comment on Duck DNS – free dynamic DNS hosted on AWS

Comments

Why AWS? How about we start building services that work anywhere instead of targeting a platform owned by a company that avoids paying billions in taxes?

Edit - I'll leave my original comment up but I originally thought this was a service that users could deploy themselves into their own AWS accounts which it is not. It is, as it says, a DDNS service which is free. The fact that it's hosted in AWS should be neither here nor there.

It kinda gives a sense of how it works. AWS means it's not just a handwritten script on a VPS somewhere, it's probably maintained with lots of automation, etc.

It kind of gives it a sense of professionalism for marketing purposes.
