Comment on PSA: GoDaddy gated their own API. DDNS users warned
lemmyvore@feddit.nl 2 months agoI like the way Bunny.net does paid DNS, 20M monthly queries for $1 and $0.1/M after that. With an API included, ofc. Now that’s the kind of pricing I can get into as a self-hoster, not $20/mo.
GoDaddy advertises a lot, basically. So whenever a person who’s never owned a domain before searches for “get a new domain” they’re gonna get GoDaddy, NameCheap and (ironically) Google Domains as the top results. That’s pretty much all there is to it.

Yep, I like bunny in fact. It didn’t have all the features I needed back then, but it’s a very good product, I heard very good things.
I also agree about the pricing. I ended up not using desec.io, but if I did, I would have probably set a 1-2 Euros recurring donation, as I feel that’s a totally acceptable price.
As for why people use GoDaddy well… I feel personally attacked as that’s exactly how I ended up there, when I didn’t know better.
