DDNS service
When the DINGO GSM connects to an Internet service provider, it will receive an IP address. If that IP address is dynamic, then it presents problems when providing services on the Internet, such as a web service. Dynamic IP addresses change frequently making it necessary to quickly re-map corresponding domain names in the Domain Name System (DNS).
DDNS or Dynamic DNS is a method of automatically updating a name server in the Domain Name System.
