on the Internet. You must register with a Dynamic DNS Client to use this

What is a Wild card ?
A wildcard alias is a method that is used to give your hostname multiple
identities. If you were to register yourhost.com, everything under
(*).yourhost.com would be aliased to yourhost.com. This includes host names
such as www.yourhost.com or ftp.yourhost.com. Once the wild card feature has
been enabled, your host can be reached at *.yourhost.dyndns.org. First , you
need to register a dyanmic DNS account with
www.dyndns.org . To use this
service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS client. The Dynamic DNS
Client service provider will give you a password or key. Refer to the “What is
Dynamic DNS (DDNS)?” question above for more information.
What is MX (Mail Exchanger)? And why MX?
The Internet email system for both machines and network connections are prone
to error. Because of this, a chain of email hubs is built into the email architecture.
If the "primary" mail host goes down, instead of queuing up the mails in the
unreliable host on the Internet, they get sent to the "secondary" or "backup" mail
exchanger for delivery, until the primary mail server becomes functional again.
In technical terms, this service is known as a Backup Mail Exchanger.
What is PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet )?
The popular PPP Protocol is used primarily for dial-up Internet connections.
PPPoE is designed to integrate broadband services into this current, widely
deployed, easy-to-use, and low-cost dial-up-access networking infrastructure.
Thus, customers can get greater access speed without changing the operation
concept.
