🎯 Ons Oordeel
Namecheap API is solid for businesses with existing domain portfolios. The free sandbox makes testing easy, but the XML-only responses and qualification requirements create friction for new developers.
Ideaal Voor: Existing Namecheap customers, bulk domain management, Terraform users
Niet Aanbevolen Voor: New developers, JSON-first teams, high-volume operations
