Dynamic DNS is a service which allows
you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in any of
the domains, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from
any location on the Internet.
The Dynamic DNS service is ideal for a website
whose IP address changes frequently. With dynamic DNS, your hostname
will always point to a correct IP address, no matter how often your
ISP changes it.
One known issue with Dynamic DNS is mail. Many
providers block e-mail from a dynamic IP address. To solve
this, you can relay all of your outgoing e-mail through your ISP's
mail server. Simply set the SMTP/outgoing mail server in your e-mail
client.
