DDNS
The Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service enables you to alias a dynamic IP address
to a static hostname, allowing your computer to be more easily accessible from
various locations on the Internet. Typically, when you connect to the Internet,
your service provider assigns an unused IP address from a pool of IP ad-
dresses, and this address is used only for the duration of a specific connection.
Dynamically assigning addresses extends the usable pool of available IP ad-
dresses, whilst maintaining a constant domain name.
When using the DDNS service, each time the IP address provided by your ISP
changes, the DNS database will change accordingly to reflect the change. In
this way, even though your IP address will change often, your domain name will
remain constant and accessible.
