I'm familiar with DNS and read the FAQ. But, "Practically", it's used for external services(ssh, http) to get to your device. Right? Are there practical use differences?

It's a name system. It allows you to get the name, it does not provide access. You're basically saying "the yellow pages are the same as cell phone towers, they allow you to phone people".
