Finding It Hard To Remember A Dynamic IP?
isHidden.net allows you to convert that nasty dynamic IP into one easy to remember subdomain that could be as simple as yourname.ishidden.net. Our service can map any IP address to your subdomain that can be updated anytime via our website or application. Everyone is welcome to register and create one free subdomain.
We don't force account checks like other providers. So, if you're not active for a while or have a high request rate, you don't have to worry about loosing the subdomain you have registered.
How Does It Work?
Maybe without even knowing it everyday when you check your mail or visit your favorite website you're making use of DNS. Without it your internet experience would be very limited. The thing that makes websites easy to remember is the hostname (for example ishidden.net); however computers don't want to know this. Instead, they talk to each other by IP address (every computer on the internet has one).
DNS provides the lookup between hostname and IP address. Think of it as a phonebook. How many of your friends can you remember the numbers for? When you type a website into your browser it must first find the IP address for the computer providing that website using the DNS database before it can load that website. After it has the IP address it will know where to talk to and load the website like nothing ever happened.
If you wish to visit a website using its IP address you can. However, you're not going to be able to remember a lot of websites. Domain names are strictly for human convenience so you might as well make use of them.
