“We provide free dynamic/static DNS aliasing services and web redirection services to the net community. The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. We provide this service for free to the Internet community as a whole. The Static DNS is similar to our Dynamic DNS service, in that it allows a hostname to point to your IP. Unlike a Dynamic DNS host, a static host does not have the 30 day idle timeout, and updates take longer to propagate though the DNS system.”

Persistent URL Page
“A PURL is a Persistent Uniform Resource Locator. Functionally, a PURL is a URL. However, instead of pointing directly to the location of an Internet resource, a PURL points to an intermediate resolution service. The PURL resolution service associates the PURL with the actual URL and returns that URL to the client. The client can then complete the URL transaction in the normal fashion. In Web parlance, this is a standard HTTP redirect.”
