Question : How to associate an Static Ip with a domain name

I have two questions:

1. I have registered a domain name and I have got a static ip address.  Can someone let me know how can I associate the static IP with the domain name?

2. I was told the persistent ip will be changed every 6 months.  What do I need to do to link the changed IP to the domain name?

Thanks a lot,

RD

Answer : How to associate an Static Ip with a domain name

1.  Most ISP's do not provide DNS service.  It's just as easy to go to ZoneEdit or another free DNS provider and do it through there.  Many times the place you use to register your domain name will also provide DNS service.   For example, I registered my domains through GoDaddy (www.godaddy.com) and they provide DNS service.  I chose to use ZoneEdit instead.

2.  Changing DNS manually means that whenever your IP changes you need to go back to your DNS provider and update the DNS records.  You need to tell the system that a new IP is associated with your domain.  DDNS uses client software to do this automatically.

3.  This will solve your problem locally, but will not solve it for people out on the Internet.
