Dynamic DNS Service

The web address people type in their browser is like your name, and the IP address is the equivalent of your phone number. Your DNS service acts as a switchboard operator, translating the text address into its numerical counterpart. Although this happens literally billions of times a day worldwide, it’s still a fairly complicated procedure. But as complex as it is when the IP address stays the same, imagine if the IP address changes?

Some websites don’t have a static IP address–instead, the IP address will change. There are a number of DNS companies that won’t allow this. And some that do only update once or twice per day at set intervals. This means downtime for you, and that’s valuable time that your clients or customers can’t access your website. When your web page is down, that’s money lost.

Dynamic DNS Service That’s Both Inexpensive and Reliable

With us, managing your dynamic IP addresses is simple. When your IP address changes, you just change your record on us, and this change takes place in real time. This means that when your IP changes, you won’t have to suffer any downtime.

We also allow you to have a much smaller TTL (Time To Live; the amount of time your record stays in the cache, or memory, on other systems) than other services. The longer the TTL, the more downtime you will have when your IP changes. Depending on your level of membership with us, you can set your TTL as low as five seconds. Additionally, we have both a 100 percent uptime history, as well as a 100 percent uptime guarantee. We want to make managing your DNS as easy for you as possible.
