HOSTNAME=yoursubdomain | |
DOMAIN=yourdomainname.com | |
PASSWORD=y0urp455w0rd | |
IP=`curl -s echoip.com` | |
curl "https://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=$HOSTNAME&domain=$DOMAIN&password=$PASSWORD&ip=$IP" |
A simple search will lead you to NameCheap’s own documentation which shows
that is the URL you use to update your dynamic dns with them.

What the heck is park-your-domain.com and why would I send them my
namecheap credentials? Is this a scam?

Thanks - I did search and didn't find any mention of park-your-domain.com in Namecheap's documentation. Why don't they use namecheap.com or api.namecheap.com as their API domain?
Documentation:
https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/583/11/how-do-i-configure-ddclient/
As for why they chose to use that domain, that would be a question best
directed at them.
