hn.org is blue as you described, but blue and white is common among a few.

Here's a bigger list:
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Address_Management/Dynamic_DNS_Services/
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Address_Management/

http://www.a2z-free.com/dns.php

I can't remember others right now, tho I have a few more lists bookmarked at

Hope this helps somewhat.
