The Domain Name System (DNS) serves as the mechanism for translating internet domain names into numeric Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. By doing so, DNS makes using TCP/IP-based applications more user-friendly, allowing users to access specific network locations by name rather than numerical addresses.
Dynamic DNS (DDNS), also known as DynDNS, is a method that automatically updates a DNS server in real time whenever a device’s IP address changes. This dynamic updating process helps circumvent the need for a dedicated or static IP address.
Here’s an analogy: Imagine having a phone number that changes every day. Most IP addresses are similarly dynamic, subject to frequent alterations. If you needed to connect to a device over the internet, relying on its constantly changing IP address would be challenging. DDNS acts like an old-style phone operator, directing internet users to the appropriate internet-connected device, even when its IP address is in flux.
