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.
If you do decide to use DynDns itself as your dynamic DNS service, you'll find that new accounts are no longer free, as they once were. But you get a 14 day free trial and pay just $20 a year if you decide to keep the service - considerably less than for most shared hosting deals (and with the additional advantage of having your data on your own desk!). Also, you can register up to 30 hostnames in that basic deal - meaning that you can used your home server for other services beside Friendica.
