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, users can enter in your domain name to connect to your

server no matter what your IP address is.
