    DNS help

    I can't get a static IP from my ISP, so I use https://www.noip.com/ which gives me an ugly %username%.noip.me address, if I was to create a custom "CNAME" DNS record with my hosting provider and forward whateveriwanthere.mydomain.com to the %username%.noip.me would that work?

    I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.

    Yes - that's what CNAME records are for. The only thing you have to watch out for is if you do it for your root domain, it'll screw with all the MX records etc. and you'll need to recreate them in the other domain (it redirects all queries) - this may not actually be possible. But if you create it for say www.yourdomain.bob or apps.yourdomain.io it should be fine.

      It will work, but if you need SSL or mail you will need to take some actions
