The DDNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased
(i.e., www.whateveryournameis.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers
assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses. Using a DDNS service provider, your friends can enter in your domain name to
connect to your server no matter what your IP address is.
