What is Dynamic DNS, and do you offer it?

Frequently Asked Questions (ZoneEdit.com)
Dynamic DNS is necessary when the IP address of a server tied to a domain name constantly changes. This is typical when the server connects to the Internet using a modem. In Dynamic DNS, the server contacts the DNS provider each time its IP address changes in order to update the DNS entry for the domain hosted by the server.

DtDNS :: Frequently Asked Questions
Dynamic DNS is simply a way of attaching a static hostname to a dynamic IP address. On the Internet, there are a limited number of IP addresses. When you connect to your ISP, you are assigned a temporary IP address that other computers use to find you while you are connected. Once you disconnect, that IP address is given to someone else, and so on.

Dynamic Dns is a way to have your own domain name (like yourdomainname.com) pointing to your own IP address, even if your IP is dynamically assigned by your ISP. It means you can host your own web/ftp server at home (or any servers you like) and everyone can access it using "yourdomainname.com" !

This is really a two parter, dynamic DNS out on the web has come to mean situations where the host machine ( the one you are trying to connect to) doesn't have a static (always the same) routable (valid for the Internet) IP address but rather gets a different one each time it boots up or the service changes ( this is called DHCP - Dynamic Host Control Protocol).

MyIP
Dynamic DNS is is needed when the IP address of your server(s) is dynamic rather then static, which means it does not always stay the same. Most non-commercial internet connections (and nearly all dialup internet connections) are assigned a temporary IP address when they connect to their ISP. This IP address allows other computers on the internet to communicate with yours. Once you disconnect, this IP address is assigned to someone else, and so on.

Can I still use Dynamic DNS through a proxy?

DynDNS -- Dynamic DNS -- Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! A number of the clients available may take this into effect automatically, and it can be done manually too. On the host addition and modification forms, simply input your current IP address into the IP address field, overriding the automatic detection. Some proxies pass variables to our server which allow us to automatically detect your actual IP, but this method is the safest, and is sure to work.

How do I setup my own dynamic DNS service?

DynSite - FAQ
You must, of course, own a DNS server permanently connected to the Internet. Then you will need to write or to adapt some scripts to process the update requests and to manage both the user and the record databases. You can find information about this in the Open Source domain (e.g. the GnuDIP server). You may also take a look at DynoDns.net or ProutDNS which both released the source code of their scripts.

I have my own domain name already and would like to use your dynamic dns - what do I need to do?

Dynamic DNS Frequently Asked Questions @ ChangeIP.com (FAQ)
You need to change the 'Name Server' addresses that are listed for your domain name. You typically go to the website where you bought your domain name, ie: BulkRegister, Network Solutions, Register.com, etc and change them there. You have to specify at least 2 different 'Name Servers' for your domain - you can use ns1.changeip.com @ 66.185.162.20 and ns2.changeip.com @ 68.15.30.144. Wait anywhere from 12-48 hours usually for the registry to replicate your new 'Name Server' selections.
