Do you pay for the standard DNS package? As I said, the cost for one year was like $35 which seems high for a service other companies give away for free when you buy a domain name. That's why I was confused. If it was $5, I could understand it.I'd say, "Well, they are a little high but I like the accessibility of their web site."<div class="im">

If I understand correctly, it is about $10-15/yr for name registration. Then you pay for DNS services. Not sure if OpenDNS could help here.<br>

FWIW I've been a DynDNS customer for a while.<br>
