Dynamic DNS Service

MailPower.net DDNS Service provides customers with a static DNS name even if their IP address is dynamically assigned. Dynamic DNS circumvents most needs for static IP addresses.

You may ask. What does this mean, and how does it impact me? Not everyone can have their own IP address. Some Internet Service Providers might let you have a dedicated IP, but they'll probably charge you extra for it. An average cost for a static IP address is +$99.00 a month.

Having a Dynamically assigned IP addresses is allot like having to change your phone number once a day, if other people need to connect to your computer they would have no way of knowing your current number. The need for a static IP address comes from those users who want to run server software such as Web Servers, FTP Servers, Game Servers, Email Servers or run business related services such as VPN's, Remote Access Software. There are many other needs for Static IP addresses as well, far to many to list here.

Dynamic DNS comes into play when a internet user either wishes to save the money he or she would spend on a static IP address, or is unable to acquire a static IP address from there ISP. Working much like an old style phone operator. Dinamic dns enables a user to update a DNS server automatically each time there IP changes. So anyone who wants to connect to the users computer can nearly always reach his or her server by entering the users domain name. The whole process works despite the changing IP addresses.

If you live in a relatively large town there are likely millions spent each year by local businesses that require static IP addressing. Most do not know about DNS services, and many would be happy to know that there is a qualified alternative to the thousands of dollars they spend each year for static or persistent IP addresses.
