** Getting onto the web
Create a subdomain on [[http://freedns.afraid.org][freeDNS]]. You may need to click on "/subdomains/" a couple of times. FreeDNS is preferred because it is one of the few domain name providers which supports genuinely free (as in beer) accounts. So if your budget is tiny or non-existent you can still participate as a first class citizen of the internet. If you do have money to spend there is also a premium option.
Select "/dynamic DNS/" then click "/quick cron example/"
An example would look like:
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
4,9,14,19,24,29,34,39,44,49,54,59 * * * * root sleep 29 ; wget -O - http://free\ dns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?ABCKDNRCLFHENSLKNFEGSBFLFF== >> /\ tmp/freedns_mysubdomain_us_to.log 2>&1 &
#+END_SRC
Edit */etc/crontab* and append that to the end of the file.
Via your router's firewall settings you should now open port 22 (secure shell). This will allow you to ssh into your BBB from any location - not just your own local network.
The freeDNS subdomain which you just created will hereafter just be refered to as "/your domain name/".

Also issue the command, replacing /mydomainname.com/ with your domain name.

hostname /myhostname/

You may also need to assign the same hostname separately via your router's web interface.
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
emacs /etc/hosts
#+END_SRC
Append the following, replacing /mydomainname.com/ with your domain name.
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
127.0.1.1 mydomainname.com
#+END_SRC
If you then run the command:
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
hostname -f
#+END_SRC
it should return your domain name.
