There are more DNS providers than Norton, Comodo and Google. There is OpenDNS, ClearCloud DNS (still beta), ScrubIT and DynDNS.com Internet Guide (DynDNS provides DNS infrastructure for Norton DNS).

I didn't know about OpenDNS and ClearlCloud, clearly there are more players in the game. Thank you for the info~

Mm, isn't DynDNS the service that dialup users ...use to give themselves some sort of static web address?
