Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name, allowing your
computer to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. Typically, when you
connect to the Internet, your service provider assigns an unused IP address from a pool of IP addresses,
and this address is used only for the duration of a specific connection. Dynamically assigning addresses
extends the usable pool of available IP addresses, while maintaining a constant domain name. Each time
the IP address provided by your ISP changes, the DNS database will change accordingly to reflect the
change in IP address. In this way, even though a domain name’s IP address will change often, your
domain name will still be accessible.
To be able to use the Dynamic DNS feature you must open a DDNS account, free of charge, at
http://www.dyndns.org/account/create.html. When applying for an account, you will need to specify a
user name and password. For more information regarding Dynamic DNS, please refer to
