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.
