3 | Most dial-up internet connections, and some 'BroadBand' *cough cough* connections such as [TelecomNZ]'s [JetStream] (for residential users) are assigned a dynamic IP address, that is every time you connect to the internet your IP address will change. | ||

5 | This makes it practically impossible to host any form of server i.e. mail web or game, and means that if for example you wanted to host a HalfLife game server for your friends you would have to tell them your new IP address each time. | ||

7 | With DynamicDNS, you can have a DomainName pointing at your server so that your friends can just connect to the same address every time. There are many free DynamicDNS services out there, which will give you [DomainName]s that consist of their DomainName with a name that you choose appended to the front, i.e. fuzzyserver.dynip.org. There are also commercial providers that will let you use your own DomainName (i.e. fuzzyserver.co.nz) for a small fee. | ||
