The tutorial assumes you’re running as a non-root user, so most commands will be listed with sudo. The tutorial steps are applicable for this version and may not apply for future versions of ddclient. Note: at the time of this writing, the current version of ddclient is 3.8.2.

If you want (or already own) your personal domain name and would like to use it for a dynamic IP host, you can accomplish it by setting up a DDNS update client, such as ddclient. The downside is that you have to use your router manufacturer’s domain name (such as ). If you’re beginner, this might be the best option as it is very easy to configure and doesn’t require running any additional server or software.

Many modern consumer routers (such as Asus RT-N66U) include this functionality out of the box by providing you with a free domain name and automatically updating its IP whenever your external IP changes. It allows updating DNS records of your domain whenever the IP of your server changes.
To solve this problem, many domain providers utilize Dynamic DNS system, also known as DynDNS or DDNS. However, just having a domain name is not enough if you have a dynamic IP – you also have to make sure to keep it up-to-date so that it always points to your current IP address. It’s much easier to remember than something like 45.123.789.13. If you want people all over the world to reach your site or web application, you need an easily remembered domain name. Connecting via IP address will work, however as soon as your ISP decides to change your IP, you will have to find out what your new IP is, share it with your users and update it in any client applications that rely on your web service. If you, like most people on residential connections, are not so fortunate to have a static IP – running any kind of external facing service (e.g., website, calibre eBook server, web UI for your torrent application, Plex or other media server) presents a challenge.
