Static Hostnames for Dynamic IPs
If you receive Internet service from a dialup, cable, or DSL provider, it is likely that your IP address will change fairly frequently. This can be a problem if you would like other people to be able to reach your computer. For example, if you run a web server on your own computer you would have to tell people your IP address every time it changes so they could type it into their web browser. With a static hostname from ThatIP you can instead give people an easy-to-remember name that always stays updated.
- Use your own domain name (e.g., yourname.com), or use a domain under thatip.com (e.g., yourname.thatip.com)
