Using the netvolante DNS service
What is the netvolante DNS service?
To construct a server to publish your website, or share a working le via the Internet, the global IP address of the
server must be known.
However, an assigned global IP address may be changed upon reconnection or after a certain time even if permanent
connection to the Internet has been established. Therefore, it was difcult to construct a public server when using a
connection service where a xed global IP address was not assigned.
If you use the netvolante DNS service,
the global IP address, each time it is changed, is notied to the netvolante DNS service, and a xed host name assigned
by the netvolante DNS service can be used for accessing the server. Accordingly, the contract of xed IP address
service is not required to operate various servers using a proprietary domain, or construct a VPN using IPsec or PPTP
to exchange data with external systems.
As the server IP address tends to change, users who
want to access the server must check the new address.
