 | Barak Hosting offers all our Domain clients free Dynamic DNS (DDNS) which allows you to create a hostname that points to your dynamic IP or static IP address or even a URL. We also provide an update functionality which makes the hostname work with your dynamic IP address. |

Our Dynamic DNS is a system which allows the domain name data residing in a name server to be updated in real time. The most commonly used function for this is in allowing an Internet domain name to be assigned to a computer with a varying (dynamic) IP address. What this provides is the possibility to make it possible for other sites on the Internet to establish connections to the server without needing to track the actual IP address themselves. The most common use is for running server software on a computer that has a dynamic IP address, as is found with many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) |

To implement Barak Hosting's Dynamic DNS it is necessary to set the maximum caching time of the domain to an unusually short period (typically a few minutes). This prevents other nodes on the Internet from retaining the old address in their DNS cache, so that they will typically contact the name server of the domain for each new connection.
