DDNS
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host
name in any of the many domains DynDNS.org offers, allowing your network
computers to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet.
DynDNS.org provides this service, for up to five host names, free to the Internet
community. The Dynamic DNS
SM
service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to
make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re at work. Using the
service can ensure that your host name always points to your IP address, no matter
how often your ISP changes it. When your IP address changes, your friends and
associates can always locate you by visiting
yourname.dyndns.org
instead.
To register free for your Dynamic DNS host name, please visit
