How to dynamically update the host's IP with an HTTPS request

You can update your host's IP address without using a specific software client by sending a simple HTTPS request. The URL structure usually follows this format: https://dynamicdns.hostaday.com/update?host=[host]&domain=[domain]&password=[password]&ip=[your_ip] By calling this URL from a script or a browser, Hostaday's system will instantly update the A record to the new IP.
