The router supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service). The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, game
server, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased or reserved (www.yourdomain.com). Many ISPs assign public IP addresses
using DHCP, this can make it difcult to locate a specic host on the Internet using standard DNS as the IP keeps changing. Using the
DDNS feature with a DDNS service provider allows you to use a host name that connects to your server no matter what your IP address
is. Using the DDNS feature requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS providers.
