I am having a bit of trouble creating a domain name (name.com), so that I don't have to use my IP address when hosting a server. I want people to type a domain such as: www.myserver.com, to join instead of using my IP address, because my IP is always changing. Anyone know how I can associate a domain name with my dynamic IP?
Thanks in advance.

I read that post, but I forgot to mention that I have a domain name that I bought from a domain registrar, and I needed to know how I can setup TS to use that name instead of my IP
www.dyndns.com (http://www.dyndns.com) has a service for dynamic ips.

thanks, i'll try, but is there any way around using a website service? ...i.e. using Apache?
So lemme get this straight you bought a domain example.com and you want to do something like ts.example.com?
-if so then set that subdomain to your IP! If you have a dynamic IP, most services offer a DUC (Dynamic Update Client) that you can download to your computer and it auto-updates your IP for you.
