Static IP address Vs Dynamic DNS server

Hi all,

I'm setting up my own FTP server for me to access it online, I have changed my IP address from dynamic to a static IP address and opened the ports for my FTP server.

My question is I was told that even know my IP address is static meaning it will never change that I need a DynDns as well. I'm confused as to why I need to have a static IP and also have a dynamic DNS server.

Can someone please explain the difference because it sounds like the two are the exact same.

Static IP address keeps my IP address the same no matter if I have a power failure, so what is the purpose of me needing a dynamic DNS server?
