 You can host a fully federated Friendica site at home using DynDns or a similar dynamic DNS service service - either on a physical computer of its own or in a Virtual Box. We have a ready-made and very easily configured Virtual Box image for this purpose. It makes 'home Friendica' a viable option for a great many people - not just 'geeks'.
 
 **A couple of explanations**
+
 A Virtual Box is a virtual computer installed within another computer. This is done by easy-to-use software. In effect, the virtual computer looks like window on your desktop (though you will usually keep that window hidden). For example: If you are running Microsoft Windows as your operating system, you can install a Virtual Box to run a GNU/Linux computer as a window within it. This can then be used to set up a server to run things like a Friendica site.
 
 A dynamic DNS service solves the following common problem: You have a decent enough Internet connection to run a server at home. However, your IP (numerical) address changes periodically - possibly every 24 hours. For that reason, computers trying to communicate with your server wouldn't know how to reach you. By obtaining an address like ``me.dyns.org`` and installing software that periodically sends your current IP to the dynamic DNS service's server, you overcome that restriction - with ``me.dyns.org`` now rerouting to whatever your IP happens to be at any point in time.
 
 **How to do it**
+
 1) Register a DynDns or similar account and install the respective/provided IP updater on your machine (that is the host computer). As explained above, this ensures that other sites can find your server, even though it is probably running on a dynamic IP. You will get a subdomain from the dynamic DNS service you choose: e.g. ``yourname.dyndns.org``
 
 2) Install Virtual Box on your machine: [[https://www.virtualbox.org/]]
