Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS (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 regardless of your IP address.
