Intro to Dynamic DNS
Many DSL and cable broadband connections use dynamic IP addresses or cryptic hostnames like CPE0000C0F9AFEB.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com -- not particularly convenient! Once you activate your system, you can map a permanent domain name to your ClearOS system's changing IP address.
Benefits of Dynamic DNS
A static IP address can be difficult or expensive to obtain and configure. Dynamic DNS makes it simple to download and install ClearOS without assigning a static IP address to every installation.
How Dynamic DNS Works
Every ClearOS installation pings the ClearSDN network for updates from within its IP network. Regardless of dynamic IP addresses or difficult URLs, ClearSDN maintains a map to each ClearOS installation that can be used to route user access, software updates and ClearSDN services.
