Create ip

How can I create a new ip to change my domain name?

An IP is just a identity like a license plate for a vehicle.
An IP is used as the address for internet transport of data sent in IP Packets

You cannot change a domain name. You can change the IP `location` of a domain.

To create a new IP to change a domain name, you first need to understand how IP addresses and domain names are interconnected with DNS (Domain Name System), a distributed database that translates domain names into IP addresses, making it possible to access resources on the Internet through domain names. When you want to change the IP address associated with a domain name, you can do so in several ways:

1. Use dynamic domain name resolution: If your IP address is dynamically assigned (e.g., through ADSL or some broadband connections), you can use a dynamic domain name service to resolve your dynamic IP. this way, no matter how your IP address changes, as long as people access it through your domain name, the system will automatically update the newest IP address without the need to manually change it.
2. Use static IP address and dynamic DNS update: If your router supports it, you can set up a static IP address and perform dynamic DNS update through your router. This way, even if your IP address changes frequently, the DNS records are automatically updated to maintain the correct association with your domain name.

Is dynamic DNS resolution secure?​

Dynamic DNS resolution can introduce several security concerns. Threat actors can use the DNS hostnames to more easily evade blocklists that look for specific IP addresses known to be malicious. If attackers can take control of a DDNS update mechanism, they can redirect users to copycat or phishing websites where they may be duped into revealing login credentials, account information, or other sensitive data. Additionally, attackers may leverage DDNS services to change the IP addresses that host command and control servers, making it more difficult for firewalls to detect traffic from these malware-infected devices.

We used it legitimately to allow access to a company VPN to *identifiable* persons.
I really cannot think of any legitimate commercial use of a host server with a DDNS address other than internally within a datacenter (in some cloud IP routing).
