[Xitami] Xitami and DDNS

[Hogan]

I have been running dyndns with Xitami for over 9 Years, it is such a 
easy setup, consider these points

Aquire the server IP on DynDNS, select wildcards if you want them and 
you are done, make sure you have a port forward if you are using a 
router and forward to port 80

Takes all of 22 seconds
