IP Address or DNS Name?
As the server address, it is recommended to specify a DNS name, not an IP address, and here’s the reason. As a rule,
dedicated IP-address belongs to a specific carrier, which provides access to the Internet and cannot be transferred
to a connection that is provided by
another
carrier. As for the DNS name, it belongs to the organization that
registered it, for example - to a security company. Besides, the compliance of the DNS name and IP address is also
specified by the security company.
What happens if, for some reason, it is necessary to cancel the contract with the carrier, which gives the security
company access to the Internet? If you specify a DNS name for the connection to the receiver, it will be enough to
change the entry that specifies the DNS name and IP address. If you specify an IP address, you will have to visit
each site to change the address value.
Proceeding from the above, it is strongly
recommended
to use the DNS name, not the IP address.
