Dynamic DNS
associates your hostname with the
ISP-assigned dynamic IP address, updates the IP address
when notified of changes, and propagates the update
throughout the DNS server system.
Static DNS
associates
your hostname with your ISP-assigned static IP address.
Although automatic updates are allowed, changes to the IP
address are expected to be less frequent, and will take
longer to propagate though the DNS system.
Custom DNS

is a full DNS solution for newly purchased domains or
domains you already own. A web-based interface provides
complete control over resource records and your entire
domain, including support for dynamic IP addresses and
automated updates. You can create different domains in
these systems.
Wildcard:
Specifies whether the service provider can use a
wildcard DNS record to resolve variations on the host name
to the associated IP address. When enabled, a wildcard
record of DNS record type CNAME is used to resolve
queries for addresses of the form *.yourhost.ourdomain.ext
to the same IP address as found in the DNS record for
yourhost.ourdomain.ext.
Mail Exchanger:
Specifies a Mail Exchanger (MX) server
name to use for e-mails addressed to the hostname. The
specified MX must resolve to an IP address or it will be
ignored. Providing no MX setting (or an MX that does not
resolve properly to a DNS record of type A) causes the
hostname's MX record(s) to be removed.
Mail Backup:
Specifies whether or not e-mails are to be
backed up by the service provider.
Offline Support:
Specifies whether or not users will be
redirected to a designated service provider site when the
host computer is not available.
