Using the netvolante DNS service
What is the netvolante DNS service?
To construct a server to publish your website, or share a working file via the Internet, the global IP address of the
server must be known.
However, an assigned global IP address may be changed upon reconnection or after a certain time even if permanent
connection to the Internet has been established. Therefore, it was difficult to construct a public server when using a
connection service where a fixed global IP address was not assigned.
If you use the netvolante DNS service,
the global IP address, each time it is changed, is notified to the netvolante DNS service, and a fixed host name assigned
by the netvolante DNS service can be used for accessing the server. Accordingly, the contract of fixed IP address
service is not required to operate various servers using a proprietary domain, or construct a VPN using IPsec or PPTP
to exchange data with external systems.
As the server IP address tends to change, users who
want to access the server must check the new address.

If the server IP address has changed,
the new address is notified to the
netvolante DNS service. Users who
want to access the server do not have
to concern about the IP address.
