Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
If your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you a static (fixed) public IP address, you can register a domain name and
have that name associated with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your ISP gave you
a dynamic (changing) public IP address, you cannot predict what your IP address will be, and the address can change
frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service. It lets you register your domain to their IP
address and forwards traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.If your ISP assigns a private
WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic DNS service does not work because private addresses
are not routed on the Internet.
