# Dynamic DNS
## Setup
Most cloud providers / ISPs will charge you extra for a static IP address. If you're
not hosting a highly reliable homeserver you can workaround this via dynamic DNS. To
set this up, you'll need to get the username/password from your DNS provider. For
google domains, this process is described [here](https://support.google.com/domains/answer/6147083).
After you've gotten the proper credentials you can add the following config to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml`:
```yaml
matrix_dynamic_dns_enabled: true
matrix_dynamic_dns_domain_configurations:
- provider: domains.google.com
protocol: dyndn2
username: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
domain: "{{ matrix_domain }}"
```
