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.
Safer is a matter of opinion. You’re moving your trust from one company to another, that doesn’t necessarily equate more safety. How do you trust the safety of companies?
As for less fragile, that is patently untrue. You have all the same failure points as previous, but now must manage the update schedule of another server, and have the added reliance on a third party host. You’ve increased fragility if anything.
I’ve had very high uptime for years
