What we have now looks something like this http: //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,or 0). Now that can be hard to remember and If you want others to get to your EyeOS like family and or friends it is better to have some thing like http: //myeyeos .org. so we need a DNS Server
Getting your own url is really easy and can even be free!
To see a example just click on this link Get Your Own Url. Below is a list of some DNS Servers as well.
FreeDNS, DynDNS, No-IP, ZoneEdit, Yi.org, DYNU, DtDNS, CO.CC
