4.7.3 Dynamic DNS

To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use dynamic domain name service (DDNS).

So that anyone wishing to reach your host only needs to know the name of it. Dynamic DNS will map

the name of your host to your current IP address, which changes each time you connect your Internet

service provider.

Before you enable Dynamic DNS, you need to register an account on one of these Dynamic DNS

servers that we list in provider field.

To enable Dynamic DNS click the check box next to Enable in the DDNS field.

Next you can enter the appropriate information about your Dynamic DNS Server.

You have to define:

Provider

Host Name

Username/E-mail

Password/Key

You will get this information when you register an account on a Dynamic DNS server.
