I am trying to find a website that has free HDRI that is free for any renders including commerical renders (which include DAZ contests).  Thank you.

    I usually use PolyHaven which offer their HDRIs under the CC0 licence which means they can be used for commercial renders etc.

    AmbientCG also has HDRIs offered under CC0 licence, although as of now I have only used that site for textures.

    Are there any good tutorials on how to use HDRI in DS?

    Well, the ones from PolyHaven are easy enough to use:

    1. Download them to a suitable location
    2. In Your Daz scene make sure you have the "Environment Options" added (Added either from the Create menu or when using iray preview)
    3. Goto Render Settings -> Environment
    4. Click on the image in Environment Map (this will most likely have the default one: DTHDR-RuinsB-500.hdr) and choose your newly downloaded file
    5. (optional if you want to show the actual image and not just the lighting) Turn Draw Dome to On
    6. Render (or run iray preview) to see
    7. (Optional) Adjust dome rotations to get the look/lighting/position that best suits your need,
