You can lookup that name to get your current address. This is also one of many - some are free (usually with restricted domain names), others may charge. Many routers support one or more of these services. In these cases, you can determine your IPaddress with dig, host, nslookup - or cURL --verbose. A web search for "dynamic ip update client" may be helpful.
