Hi guys.
Many registrars offer free DNS hosting if you register your domain with
them.
I need a bit more. I need a registrar which not only will "host" my own
domains but also in exchange give me
a dyndns service so I can automatically update the @ records of my
domains as an extra free of charge service.
Do you guys know of any registrars that can do that?
Cheers,
Marcin.

All registrars do that. They can't register domains without being willing to point them somewhere, so they can either delegate to nameservers the customers specify or use their own nameservers.

That's not actually true. There is no requirement that a domain name
registration have name servers associated with it, although what you
describe is by far the most common model.

Search for "dynamic dns service" you'll get a lot of hits.

I know they do that, and so do few others.
I was asking for a registrar who offers a free dyndns service to their
customers who have registered their domains there as an extra service,
just like plain DNS service.
I don't understand why a registrar would offer free DNS service but
could not offer free dyndns as well...
