I've been planning to diversify my domain registrars recently, and have seen plenty of discussions on HN comparing the alternatives. While I'm looking at possibly splitting registrations across other registrars, I'm more interested in alternative NS providers.<p>Namecheap's API isn't exactly welcoming (contact support to enable, XML-only with no official libraries). Additionally, their web interface is terribly slow (accessing from UK).<p>Does anyone <i>not</i> use their registrar's DNS services for small deployments?<p>Especially looking at how other people manage lots of small project sites, none of which are big enough to necessitate a dedicated NS and the associated management overhead.
