(Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of having a website, FTP, or e-mail server-with a dynamic IP address-use a fixed domain name.
Dynamic Domain Name System. Allows for a dynamic or constantly changing IP address to be assigned to a networked device while allowing the associated domain name for that device to remain unchanged. The device in many cases is a server that provides information to clients. While an IP address must be assigned to the server, an optional domain name can be used to identify the device. For example, www.bluenetvideo.com is a server whose IP address is 66.70.185.247. If that IP address changes, DDNS will correctly map the new IP address to www.bluenetvideo.com.
