DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) provides the mechanism for translating internet domain names into numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address. The DNS makes using TCP/IP-based applications much more friendly by enabling users to specify network locations by name rather than number.

The Domain Name System (DNS) also provides infrastructure for distributing the database of address to name mappings throughout the internet.

The Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers or ICANN is responsible for managing and coordinating the DNS to ensure universal redundancy. ICANN is the global, non-profit, private-sector coordinating body acting in the public interest. ICANN ensures that the DNS continues to function effectively by overseeing the distribution of unique domain names. Among its other responsibilities, ICANN oversees the processes and systems that ensure that each domain name maps to the correct IP address.

At the core of the DNS are computers (root servers) to be exact. They are coordinated by Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbres. These servers provide resolution for Top Level Domains TLD's. In an Internet address such as dyndnsservices.com the .com part is known as a Top Level Domain, or TLD. The root servers contain all the Top Level Domain registries:  the global registries such as .net, .org, etc. and the location specific registries such as .ca (Canada).

The root servers store Name Server information for a Top Level Domain Name TLD. when an internet address such as dyndnsservices.com is queried the root servers will return dyndnsservices.com Authoritative Name Servers Internet Protocol/IP addresses. In turn the revolver or ISP DNS Server will query the Authoritative Name Server to determine an Internet Protocol/IP address for dyndnsservices.com, and in turn pass this information on to the end user.

Dynamic DNS or DDNS

Think of the phone system. When you dial a number, it rings at a particular location because there is a central numbering plan that ensures that each telephone number is unique. The DNS works in a similar way. If telephone numbers or domain names were not globally unique, phone calls or e-mail intended for one person might go to someone else with the same number or domain name. Without uniqueness, both systems would be unpredictable and therefore unreliable.

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. Imagine if the phone company changed your number twice a day people would have a hard time calling you.

Not everyone can have their own static IP address. There ISP, cable company, or whoever, might let them have a dedicated IP, but they'll probably charge extra for it.

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. Dynamic 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. Dynamic DNS allows the end user to run a fully functional internet server despite changing IP addresses.

Dynamic DNS DDNS in laymen's terms

Need additional information on Dynamic DNS-DDNS services

 I suspect many of you are already familiar with what a Dynamic DNS Service is and what it does. For those of you who are not, I will do my best to describe in "layman's terms" the service and what it provides internet users world-wide.

I will begin with a simple scenario. Jack our fictitious computer user. Has recently decided to build a web site for his online business activities. Jack has contacted many web hosting providers trying to find the best prices, but finds that to implement his planned web site will require many features that are very costly "far beyond Jacks budget" , Jack contacts his local Broadband provider, thinking that he can host his web site at home and have all the features he could ever want. He is paying for internet anyway right? Jack finds that the Broadband provider also wants a lot of money, even more than the web hosting providers in some cases, for a static IP address, which is crucial to host his web site at home.

At this point you would think Jack is out of options, but he is not. In fact, Jack is about to save hundreds, in some cases. a thousand or more a year by using a Dynamic DNS Service.

Let's peer into the future here a bit and imagine that you have already purchased DDNSServ and are yourself providing the Dynamic DNS Service that Jack will use. A Dynamic DNS Service offers anyone in the world, regardless of how they connect to the internet, the ability to have a Domain Name, a .com, mapped to their IP address at any given time despite the dynamic nature of most ISP assigned addresses.

Jack has found your website and has quickly realized that you have the answers to all his needs, for a fraction of the cost. Jack then downloads and configures your provided client software, and instantly turns his home computer into an internet server.

Some other examples of things you can do with Dynamic DNS service are listed below. Your users will have the ability to have support personnel, employees, etc... access their networks for things such as connecting to a client's computer system through remote access, enabling VPN's between branches, keeping track of branch office print servers, controlling and running mail servers, running web or FTP servers, running online video conferencing software, talking over the internet with voice conferencing, etc...
with our software suite, your future customers will find there is often no need to pay the, sometimes huge, fees associated with running their own internet server. They can conduct business, host a personal website, or just host their own email server. By using your service, your customer's home computer can instantly be an Internet Server. The possibilities are truly unlimited..
