How to connect to a Remote Windows Server via internet without using Static IP?

How to connect to a Remote Windows Server via internet without using Static IP?
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 and i want to make it accessible to my customers so they can work on my server through sessions which they can access from anywhere in the entire world via internet.



Common thought solution



You might say that purchase a static IP for it so you will be able to access it anywhere in the entire world.



Bottleneck




I live in India and the only available broadband network near my location is Airtel or BSNL.




  1. I already have already purchased a nice plan from Airtel which serves us well until the Internet link is dropped from the ISP side for hours which happens once in a month.
    As an IT person we know that the server needs to have 24/7 uptime to make itself useful for the customers and if the internet link keeps dropping for hours then it is a major setback.

  2. BSNL is prone to have frequent internet link drops and is slower than Airtel and even costs double in comparison to my current Airtel Plan, so it is out of the picture.

  3. Private ISP don't have their internet lines stretched out to our office so that is also out of the picture.

  4. Lease Lines are dedicated line which might solve the problem but it is expensive as hell and it is still bound to have internet link drop problem (which would probably be less than the normal broadband connection as it is dedicated).

  5. Internet Dongle - I thought of using multiple ISP dongle to maximize the uptime of the server BUT that again wasn't possible because i don't know a way through which the customer can connect to the server because there is no PUBLIC IP or anything that the customer can use it to access the remote server.

  6. I was suggested by someone to do the following but i have no idea how to do it. If someone can show me how to do it or refer to an article related to it, it would be much appreciated.





use dynamic dns service that you set up on your server, and
connect to your server using a host name instead of its IP address.
However, this question is not a programming question, and therefore
offtopic here – nos




Back to the Main Question




Are there any other ways that i might have missed through which i can make my server readily available to my end customers without investing a lot and using a Static IP.

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits,

apache 2.2 - Server Potentially Compromised -- c99madshell

So, low and behold, a legacy site we've been hosting for a client had a version of FCKEditor that allowed someone to upload the dreaded c99madshell exploit onto our web host. I'm not a big security buff -- frankly I'm just a dev currently responsible for S/A duties due to a loss of personnel. Accordingly, I'd love any help you server-faulters could provide in assessing the damage from the exploit. To give you a bit of information: The file was uploaded into a directory within the webroot, "/_img/fck_uploads/File/". The Apache user and group are restricted such that they can't log in and don't have permissions outside of the directory from which we serve sites. All the files had 770 permissions (user rwx, group rwx, other none) -- something I wanted to fix but was told to hold off on as it wasn't "high priority" (hopefully this changes that). So it seems the hackers could've easily executed the script. Now I wasn't able
