Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address. This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your IP address may change whenever you connect to your ISP.

You must register for the Dynamic DNS service. The XC-DPG503 supports 2 types of service providers:

Standard client, available at http://www.dyndns.org.
