Ever tried hosting a server in your home network but annoyed at the fact that your public IP address keeps changing? Imagine for a moment that you're running a [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com) server located at `nextcloud.example.com`. All of a sudden, the public IP changes and your domain is still pointing to the old IP address. As a result, connectivity to your server gets disrupted. The change can happen at any time and without warning. It can take some time for you to find out. Once you do, you'll have to manually update the [A-record](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNS_record_types#A) of `nextcloud.example.com` to restore connectivity.
