First thing in I do when I register a domain is point its DNS to Digital Ocean nameservers (some registrars even offer this in the signup process - no login or further setup required). That way all my domains are managed under one account irrespective of where they were purchased. They offer every DNS setting you would ever need (unlike some registrars) and their propagation is always super fast. Their API is top notch. The best thing is it's a free service, and the only service of theirs I use. No need for their cloud services. Just amazing DNS.

It sounds like you are talking about a zone contents API, and I agree that it's important to have a good one. But it's also important to have a good API for managing a domain's delegation and ownership information, so that you can ensure all your domains are managed consistently. Just pointing the DNS for a domain at a good DNS provider doesn't help with managing its delegation if the registrar is crappy.

  if your business involves registering a high volume of a specific domain then yes, help with managing those would be vital, but most people registering domain names are web developers registering on behalf of clients
