DDNS - Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) helps to link a domain name to changing IP addresses. This service is provided by a DDNS service provider for e.g. Dyndns, NO-IP. The DDNS service provider contacts the DNS service at a specified time interval for the changed IP address and subsequently updated the DNS database to reflect the change in IP address.
