Not sure why there would be any difference between the
two. They both point to the same IP address at the same
time. But if it works, go for it.

I ran into some problems with Comcast, they were changing
IP addresses on me a whole lot, at one point it was changing
almost every hour. So I signed up for no-ip.com which
automatically updates the IP when it gets changed by Comcast.

I also got hit by Comcast not wanting me to run a web server
on my computer. So I moved that over to a helpful company
called LinkSRC.com, the dude heard I lost my web server so
he hooked me up.

I'm also considering going with a professional MUD hosting
company but the MUD tends to take up quite a bit of disk
space. About 1.6 Gb last I checked. All those objects being
saved in all the rooms and each Room/NPC having it's own
'player file' kinda makes things a bit large. Most MUD hosting
companies think 500 Mb is a huge amount of space for a MUD.

But it looks like things are going ok, if anyone's having
trouble connecting to the MUD or web page using the regular
addresses let me know.
