What is pairNIC Dynamic DNS?

How can I use pairNIC Dynamic DNS?
If you have a server attached to a business-class network, that machine is probably networked with a “static IP address.” This means that the network address that server uses does not change from one day to the next. If this is what you have, then standard custom DNS is all you will need.
However, computers connecting to the Internet through residential Internet service (home fiber, cable modem, DSL, or dial-up) often use “dynamic IP addressing.” Put simply, this would be like the phone company changing your telephone number every single day. As long as you only want to call out, it’s no problem. But, as soon as you want somebody to call you, you need a phone book that updates as quickly as the phone company.

What is an example of a practical application of pairNICDynamic DNS?
Let’s say you have a desktop computer at home where you store all of your digital music. Your computer has a dynamic IP address (which means it changes occasionally). When you are at work, you want a way to access the music on your home computer — so, you setup pairNIC Dynamic DNS. With pairNIC Dynamic DNS, you can create a hostname like yourcomputer.example.com. This hostname will allow you to find your music server at home even if your IP address changes.
