To avoid your own accounts and hostnames becoming blocked when developing a client, the test account and test hostnames have been provided for client testing during the development process. The test account or any of the test hostnames cannot be a default within a client.
The username for the test account is simply test, and the password is also test.
The available test hostnames for Dynamic DNS are:
- test.dyndns.org
- test.ath.cx
- test.dnsalias.net
- test.dnsalias.org
- test.dnsalias.com
- test.homeip.net
- test.mine.nu
- test.merseine.nu
- test.shacknet.nu
The available test hostnames for Dyn Standard DNS are:
- test1.customtest.dyndns.org
- test2.customtest.dyndns.org
- test3.customtest.dyndns.org
- test4.customtest.dyndns.org
- test5.customtest.dyndns.org
- test6.customtest.dyndns.org
- test7.customtest.dyndns.org
- test8.customtest.dyndns.org
- test9.customtest.dyndns.org
Those hostnames are regularly unblocked; if one of them is blocked for update abuse, use another one.
To prevent abuse, the test account cannot be used to log into the website.
