DynSite automatically updates your dynamic IP address each time it changes on one or many dynamic DNS services or by email. This allows anyone to connect to the servers (Web, FTP, NNTP, etc.) running on your own computer using a fully qualified domain name (e.g. myhost.dyndns.org, where myhost is a name of your choice). Since your host name never changes it makes accessing your servers much easier than using your IP address which changes each time you reconnect. This is also useful when you want to remotely control your PC.

    The idea does not buys. Not practical at all. Nowadays hosting is cheap.

    I saw the review below, and thought, "Did I write that?" I didn't, of course, but I could have--because it's totally true.

    DynSite burned me really bad when it forced updates and caused my dynamic DNS accounts to be locked. When I asked for help, I was ignored. Pass on this digital travesty for either a freebie, or DirectUpdate, which is quite nice, and better supported.

    Terribly unreliable, and the author totally ignores support requests.

    I was loving DynSite until one day when it suddenly forced an update on all 6 of my DNS names--for NO REASON--and they were all subsequently locked for "abuse". I couldn't uninstall it fast enough after that happened.

    You know.. that was supposed to be bit... I dunno where the "ch" came from... but maybe it was a Fruedian typo. :)
