Dynamic DNS
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System)
is a combination of DHCP, DNS, and client
registration. DDNS allows administrators to alias VPort’s dynamic IP address to a static hostname
in any of the domains provided by the DDNS service providers listed on VPort’s Network/DDNS
configuration page. DDNS makes it easier to access VPort from various locations on the Internet.

NOTE
Dynamic DNS is a very useful tool for accessing VPort via the Internet, especially for xDSL
connections with a non-fixed IP address (DHCP). Administrator and users can avoid the trouble
of connecting with VPort when the IP address of VPort is not fixed by using the unique host
name in the URL to establish a connection with VPort.
