A Day to Celebrate Video Games and Gamers

According to the Video Game History Museum, September 12th of 2024 is considered National Video Games Day!

It’s hard to nail down specifically when the holiday started, but it appears to have begun during the early 1990’s. The earliest description of the day says that it is “a day for kids who love video games to celebrate the fun they have playing them and to thank their parents for all the cartridges and quarters they provided to indulge this hobby.”

It’s safe to say that gaming has evolved and grown to be so much more than just a children’s hobby. Last year in 2023, the global gaming industry made $187.7 billion. Many adults not only enjoy gaming, but also are able to make a living and win money.

No-IP Dubs

No-IP offers Dynamic DNS services that allow you to create a hostname that points to your server’s IP address. This means that your friends can connect to your Minecraft server using a simple and easy-to-remember hostname instead of a long and complicated IP address. Take a look at a previous blog to learn more about port forwarding and the simple steps to get it going.

Therefore, No-IP is ideal for gaming, streaming, and other applications that require reliable and consistent remote access. No-IP helps ensure your connection is always pointing to the correct IP address.
