4.7.2 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 and Password/Key. You will get this information when you register an account on a
Dynamic DNS server.
Example:
After Dynamic DNS setting is configured, click on the
Save
button.
