375-377: LGTM: Crucial warning about GoDaddy DNS API limitations.The added warning about GoDaddy's DNS API access limitations is well-placed and provides critical information for users. The use of the "IMPORTANT" tag appropriately emphasizes the significance of this information.
Consider adding a brief sentence explaining the impact of this limitation on users who don't meet the criteria (e.g., "Users who don't meet these criteria will not be able to use the DNS challenge method with GoDaddy.").
