Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (web, FTP, game server, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased (i.e. 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.
