DDNS
The DDNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc…) using a domain name that you have
purchased (www.whateveryournameis.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet
Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses. Using a DDNS service provider, your friends can enter in
your domain name to connect to your server no matter what your IP address is.
Server:
Choose your DDNS provider from the drop
down menu.
Host Name:
Enter the Host Name that you registered
with your DDNS service provider.
Username:
Enter the Username for your DDNS account.
Password:
Enter the Password for your DDNS account.
Timeout:

for use.
