    One is a dynamic DNS provider allowing dynamic addresses to get a semi-permanent address on the internet (DtDNS).

    OpenDNS on the other hand just provides a free DNS service for all to use to resolve host names through the internet. So they both have DNS in common but serve different functions.

    One is a dynamic DNS provider used to assign a semi-permanent address on the internet to a dynamic IP. OpenNIC on the other hand is an alternative DNS/NIC that provides functionality similar to ICANN.
