Route53 is an excellent service, and the latest price reduction makes it even more attractive - but using the API directly as an end user is a little cumbersome, especially for cloud servers.
A while ago I thought "wouldn't it be great if when launching a cloud server some magic would happen and the server would get assigned a human/friendly name of my choice? I'm tired of remembering IP addresses, and logging into my DNS management console to setup records."
Following that thought we added Domain management and a free dynamic DNS service to the TurnKey Linux Hub.
