Run your own web site, even though you don't have
a static IP address
Many Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) charge extra for static IP addresses,
or don't provide them at all. Traditionally, servers
need a static IP address in order to publish a web site.
Using a feature we
call Dynamic DNS, Nitix lets you host your own Internet
site, including a web site, email, DNS, and other servers,
even if you only have a "dynamic" IP address
that changes periodically.
When you register
a domain name, you need to provide the IP addresses
of at least two DNS (Domain Name Service) servers, so
that other users on the Internet can find your server.
If the address of your server changes, you need to re-register
the domain. Dynamic IP addresses make this inconvenient
or impossible, since they change randomly, sometimes
more than once a day.
With Dynamic DNS,
you can register your domain using specific IP addresses
owned by Net Integration Technologies. We have multiple
servers on static addresses, strategically placed around
the Internet. When Dynamic DNS is enabled, your Nitix-powered
server will tell our servers your domain's new IP address
whenever it changes.
Our servers can then
act as DNS servers for your domain, and they will always
contain your current address. With Nitix, all you have
to do is turn on Dynamic DNS - there are no other options
to configure.
