Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS is a system which allows the domain name data held in a name server to be updated in real time. This is mostly used for an Internet domain name to be assigned to a computer with a varying (dynamic) IP address. Some ISPs do not offer static (fixed) IP addresses and therefore this system allows computers with a dynamic IP address to be web servers, for example.
