The DDNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc…) using a domain name that you have
purchased (www.whateveryournameis.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet
Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses. Using a DDNS service provider, your friends can enter in
your domain name to connect to your server no matter what your IP address is.
