   My DNS servers are at namecheap.com. They were (perhaps still are) free
under some constraints. Since namecheap.com is also my domain registrar I
don't pay extra for the name servers.

   When Frontier changes my IP address (which they used to do a half-dozen
times each night, now only every few days to couple of weeks) the cron
script that runs every half hour updates the DNS servers if the IP address
changes. My thanks to Bill Barry for getting the script working.
