It is difficult to remember the IP addresses used by computers to communicate
on the Internet. It gets even more complicated when ISPs change your public IP
address regularly, as is the case when the Internet connection type is Dynamic
IP or PPPoE with Dynamic IP.

If you are doing some web hosting on your computer and are using Dynamic
IP, Internet users would have to keep up with the changing IP address before
being able to access your computer.

When you sign up for an account with a Dynamic Domain Name Service
(DDNS) provider, the latter will register your unchanging domain name, e.g.
MyName.Domain.com

. You can configure your access point to automatically

contact your DDNS provider whenever the access point detects that its public
IP address has changed. The access point would then log on to your account
and update it with its latest public IP address.

If someone types in your address: MyName.Domain.com into their web browser,
this request would go to the DDNS provider which would then re-direct that
request to your computer, no matter what IP address it has been currently
assigned by your ISP.
