I work for a Dyn Enterprise DNS customer, so I read the Enterprise FAQ which says:
> If you’re a Dyn Managed DNS customer and minimal downtime is acceptable, follow the instructions above to migrate your services to OCI.
> If you’re a Dyn Managed DNS customer and downtime is not acceptable, please check back with us in August when we are planning on having a migration tool available to help avoid downtime.
We happen to be wrapping up a migration to a self-hosted solution, but we chose Dyn because we didn't find "minimal" downtime to be something generally acceptable. [edited this sentence for clarity]
For personal use, it's worth checking out free DNS service from Hurricane Electric, https://dns.he.net/ it includes Dynamic DNS, and Hurricane Electric is probably not going anywhere. I'm not affiliated, but I use their secondaries for my personal domains.
