Why do you need name servers?
Every domain name must have a primary nameserver (eg. ns1.domain-name.com) and at least one
secondary nameserver (eg ns2.domain-name.com) otherwise they won't work! .The second nameserver requirement aims to
make the domain name still reachable even if one name server becomes
inaccessible.
What is dynamic DNS ?
Dynamic DNS is a system which allows the domain name data held in a name server to be updated in real time. The most common use for this is in allowing a domain name to be assigned to a computer with a varying (dynamic) IP address.
This makes it possible for other sites on the Internet to make
connections to the machine without needing to track the IP address
themselves.
Finding your name servers on your own computer.
In Linux at a shell prompt type: cat /etc/resolv.conf
In Windows at a dos prompt type: C:>ipconfig /all |
