This looks great, thanks for putting it together. I have a couple of questions about the script.

In order to update the DNS records in Namecheap are the login details being sent to a 3rd party or directly to Namecheap servers?

I'm a little worried about having my Namecheap password inside a script as the account holds a lot of critical domains. I could move it to a new Namecheap account.

Do you think that this script is easily updatable to use the Namecheap API service?

Hi @danimalweb! I believe park-your-domain.com is a namecheap's service, I took it from their documentation - see https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/583/11/how-do-i-configure-ddclient Whois - https://www.whois.com/whois/park-your-domain.com

Gotcha thanks, so it uses ddclient.
