PSA: GoDaddy gated their own API. DDNS users warned (loudwhisper.me)

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.

I moved just about everything to Route53 for registration - I run my own DNS so I don't need to pay for that, and it's ~40% cheaper than Gandi for better service.

Now I just need to move my .nz domain (R53 supports .{co,net,org}.nz, but not .nz itself?) and the 2 .xyz domains that are "premium" for some reason so R53 won't touch
