Systm 90: What is Dynamic DNS?

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 – running time 02:19
To take advantage of Dynamic DNS you need to know what it is first!

'Back in the day' if you wanted to run a web server, email server, or FTP server from home you needed a static IP... and they often added quite a bit to the monthly bill from your ISP. -0- Dynamic DNS, however, lets you use a DHCP assigned address -the kind you probably have at home- just like a static IP address. -0- That means if you have a broadband connection and you can run a website or FTP server straight from your home without signing up for a more expensive static IP service.
