GoDaddy really lived up to its bad reputation and recently changed their API rules. The rules are simple: either you own 10 (or 50) domains, you pay $20/month, or you don’t get the API. I personally didn’t get any communication, and this broke my DDNS setup. I am clearly not the only one judging from what I found online. A company this big gating an API behind such a steep price… So I will repeat what many people said before me (being right): don’t. use. GoDaddy.
Sounds good. Better free DNS option with API support?
Desec.io is a good option. To be honest using cloudflare just for DNS is completely OK. It’s not a service that allows spying on you or consolidates their monopoly.
Why is it free, i selfhost to get rid of snooping companies
Does porkbun not just have that?
It does, but for the same reason as what happened to OP, it’s best to separate DNS from domain registrar.
Don’t use DNS like that. Use a VPS and route traffic to a isolated network at home if need be
That’s definitely a nice solution, but I have not had good luck with free VPS providers keeping the lights on. It would likely cost money on the order of $5 to $10 per month, so it is a different class of solution.
