Dynamic DNS
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Normally, a hostname is tied to a fixed IP address. This works well if the server the hostname is used for has a
|
|
static IP address. However, a static IP address is not always an option. In order to tie a hostname to a dynamic
|
|
IP address, a Dynamic DNS service can be used.
|
|

|
|
Setting up a dynamic IP address
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In the web interface, go to :menuselection:`Services --> Dynamic DNS`. In the upper right corner, click **Add**.
|
|
|
|
A form will now appear with the following fields:

|
|
Service type The provider of your Dynamic DNS Service. If you use one not in the list, select “Custom” or “Custom (v6)”.
|
|

|
|
Hostname Enter the complete host/domain name. For example: *myhost.dyndns.org*
