A dynamic DNS service is used to allow remote users access your server by name instead of IP number. It is especially useful if you do not have a static global IP address. The dynamic DNS server will automatically be notified of your new IP address when it changes.

Dynamic DNS provider
Before you can use dynamic DNS you need to get an account at a dynamic DNS provider.
Example:
tekea.com offers hosting of all types of DNS records, including SRV records required for SIP communication, and ENUM.
dyndns.org offers a more basic DNS solution, however some of their services are free of charge.

Apply for an account at one of the listed providers before entering data into the fields below! Specify the provider you have engaged by ticking the appropriate button.



Hostname - Enter the full hostname you have registered at your dynamic DNS provider, for example yourhost.homeip.net
At some providers you can enter multiple host names, comma-separated.

Account type - Relevant only for dyndns.org, ignored by all other providers. Type of DNS service you have registered:
Dynamic DNS - if you have an IP address that changes often.
"Static" DNS - if you have an IP address that changes seldom.
Custom DNS - pay service if you have your own URL.

User - Enter the login you use at your dynamic DNS provider.

Password - Enter the password you use at your dynamic DNS provider.
