Description of DDNS (Dynamic DNS)

DDNS or Dynamic DNS are other names for Dynamic Domain Name Systems.

The standard DNS uses A or AAAA DNS entries to connect domain names to IP addresses. Dynamic DNS can automatically update and change the host’s IP address. The users can access it even if their IP address changes.

An easy service to use is Dynamic DNS. When your ISP changes your IP address, it is simple for you to access your hosted services. You may utilize your home network for CCTV cameras with DDNS, for instance, or you could have a web hosting server, mail server, database server, etc.

After reading this, you won’t hesitate to implement a DHCP server. It will make your daily job or your administrator’s easier!

What is a DHCP server?

DHCP means Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a helpful network protocol for assigning IP addresses (unique identifiers) and more network settings to devices (clients) on a network.

And a DHCP server is the network device (software, or hardware) that is in charge of this service, meaning assigning, in a dynamic way, IP addresses and more providing different data needed for the devices to join the network. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server manages a pool of IP addresses (a table of IP addresses available). It always keeps available IP addresses to be able to assign them to the devices that request them. Every time a device does not need the IP address anymore, it gets back to the pool to use it again.
