Hey Geeks, what DNS service do you use?

Looking for a good cheap (free?) DNS host with dynamic DNS capabilities. I've been using DNS Park's free service for a long time, but they are getting more and more restrictive with what they provide for free accounts. I use godaddy to register most of my domains, and their dns control panel is acceptable in a lot of cases but does not provide dynamic DNS capabilities. Amazon's Route 53 is nice and cheap, but I'd prefer a UI. Right now it looks like easydns is the way to go with $20/year plans, but I thought I'd see if anyone has better experience/ideas.

I've used EasyDNS since 1999. I have never had a reason to switch.

If you remember Tucows (download site) from years ago. Same people. They support dynamic updates. I even wrote a small Python script that will update it.

OpenDNS - there are no others. :D

I use OpenDNS for DNS Resolution, but I am not aware of them providing any DNS hosting...

This is correct. OpenDNS does not host domains. They only provide DNS resolving. (though some nice added features with that)

Although I do not use a dynamic DNS service, I have heard good things about EasyDNS.
