-Dynamic DNS is a function that allows you to have a private domain linked to a dynamic IP address. Periodically, as the IP address changes, a client module updates the binding between the domain name and IP address. In simple terms, Dynamic DNS allows you to have your own domain (or subdomain), and keep track of what its IP address is on a regular basis.
