Configuring Dynamic DNS

If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have
that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your
Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you will not know in advance what your
IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial
dynamic DNS service that will allow you to register your domain to their IP address, and will
forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently-changing IP address.
