Contrary to the name, No-IP doesn’t hide or encrypt your IP address but rather gives you a way to see your external dynamic IP address. Your IP address is a string of numbers that identifies your PC on the Internet. This address is not always easily identifiable, therefore No-IP makes your job simpler. Their dynamic DNS update client continually checks for IP address changes in the background and automatically updates the DNS at No-IP whenever it changes.
What’s the use of it really, one might ask? Well, with your external IP displayed, you can quickly host a web server or a multiplayer game server and not break your head over it. And since the program works by syncing with No-IP.com’s free DNS (Domain Name Server) service, you don’t need to keep track of your address even if it keeps changing. You get a free server address to connect to.
Therefore when hosting a website or running a game, simply choose a name from the drop down-list at No-IP.com and prefix a username to it. In order to use the service you have to register for a free account and add host names at the No-IP.com website. This is your ticket to getting the software.
Once you have everything set up, don’t forget to checkmark your server name in the client; a yellow smiley will assure you that everything’s ok. This is recommended as it is relatively easy to set up for novice users and is very useful.
Thanks you will 😛
