Using Dynamic DNS

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name in any of the many domains DynDNS..org offers, allowing your network computers to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet.. DynDNS..org provides this service, for up to five host names, free to the Internet community..

The Dynamic DNSSM service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re at work.. Using the service can ensure that your host name always points to your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it.. When your IP address changes, your friends and associates can always locate you by visiting yourname..dyndns..org instead!

To register free for your Dynamic DNS host name, please visit http:// www..dyndns..org..
