user’s location. Even private users have an economical way of
placing their own Internet offers on their computer at home.
Every time the Internet connection is established, the Internet
Service Provider assigns a new public IP address.
Each time the IP address changes, the current IP address is
transmitted to a special DDNS server. Except for the few sec-
onds between the cancellation of the old IP address and the
notification of the new IP address, the computer can always
be reached at the selected domain name.

DHCP
short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP is a protocol for dynamically negotiating the operating
parameters of the TCP/IP protocol (see glossary). The com-
puters in a local IP network (DHCP clients) access the DHCP
server as part of their operating systems’ start procedure.
The central administration of the TCP/IP operation parame-
ters makes it possible to avoid address conflicts caused by IP
addresses (see glossary) accidentally assigned more than
once.
DHCP is used in IPv4 networks (see glossary).
