A DynamicDNS service allows you to host a DomainName on your dynamically changing IP.
Most dial-up internet connections, and some '[Broadband]' *cough cough* connections such as [Telecom]'s [Jetstart] are assigned a dynamic IP address, that is every time you connect to the internet your IP address will change.
-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 [Mates]
you would have to tell them your new IP address each time.

-With DynamicDNS, you can have a DomainName pointing at your server so that your [Mates]
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.
