A virtual server with a dynamic DNS service might just be the easiest way for a home user to implement an Internet website.
A dynamic DNS service lets the user run a web server from a home computer without a static IP address. Dynamic DNS providers such
as DynDNS.com [1], easyDNS [2], or ZoneEdit.com [3] won’t even charge you for a static DNS name. If your Internet provider assigns new IP addresses to your router through DHCP, a special program – or even the router itself – will pass the new IP address on to the dynamic DNS service provider, thus updating the DNS record for uninterrupted name resolution services.
