    What is this crap at GoDaddy?

    As Paul & I pointed out in the replies to that post, it isn't expected behavior, and we're looking into it.

    No More GoDaddy Member Auctions!

    I recommend you connect with auctions@godaddy.com. If you run into that scenario for number 2, please feel free to give me a heads up, too. As it says in the blog, unactioned offers will be removed on May 13th, so it's recommended you initiate the transaction by that point. If it's a pending...

    No More GoDaddy Member Auctions!

    Linking our blog post with full details: Important changes to GoDaddy Auctions from April 29th, 2024 But ultimately, Afternic is your place to list BIN and Offer/Counteroffer names for sale while 7 day auctions will be retired.

    Trademark Term according to GoDaddy

    "Singling you out" - that's not happening. I'd encourage MapleDots to work with the trademark claims email address in the original email to find out more information.

    Afternic is effectively dead and remains in name only

    As GoDaddy & Afternic have said elsewhere: We’re committed to optimizing our platform and appreciate your feedback. We continue to focus on providing the best tools and features for sellers through Afternic.com, while giving buyers a frictionless way to buy domains through our network and sale...

    Apparantly nobody owns a premium domain

    I'm flattered my tweet made a topic ;) That particular tool, while I haven't tested it exhaustively, gives a quick indication if a domain has a registry premium registration and renewal fee. It's not judging the quality of domains :)

    Diy.com - You can do it! - No you can't!

    It resolves without the www in the UK. B&Q is a popular chain of stores here, always loved the domain... Better than bandq.com, which they also own :)

    Afternic Launches Lease To Own

    Just to clarify this, it's "For deals greater than 36 months, the effective commission from your asking price will be 0% assuming you use a GoDaddy/Dan nameserver." E.g, if you're using those reduced commission nameservers (e.g ns1.afternic/ns2.afternic) then your commission rate is that...

    I Will Be Moving Away From DAN.com

    Thanks. I appreciate your point of view -- search on-site is definitely something that can be improved & it's one of the things I'm pushing for this year.

    Godaddy domain expiry policy

    I'll DM you with the info I have - but I'll say publicly this was nothing to do with redemption.
  15. jamesiles

    Godaddy domain expiry policy

    I didn't have that info... So in that case, no. Typical timeline for .com is GoDaddy - What happens when my domain expires? - I'll use the info from your DM to check.

    Whois & Appraisal Widgets on DN.ca

    Not in the short term.

    Godaddy domain expiry policy

    Sounds like it's following the redemption path and that's the redemption fee. But I'd need more info to say for sure. Feel free to DM me.

    Potential issue with Dan sales of Uni/GoDaddy domains

    Regarding the original issue -- there would have been no problems with using the "push" at Dan here. However, just to ensure there's no confusion in the future, a small update will be pushed live in the next few days by the Dan team.

    I Will Be Moving Away From DAN.com

    Just on the request price landing page you mentioned... there has been a huge amount of work to reduce friction on these to capture as many qualified leads as possible through a multi stage process. If you're at NamesCon, Alan Shiflett will be discussing this in his presentation. Do you have...

    Godaddy valuations

    As promised, the $25k reference has been removed. We're working longer term on adding higher value domain sales data.

    Godaddy valuations

    I agree. That language will change while GoDaddy works on adding higher value appraisal data

    Nope. Nothing like that. But a ton of recent sales data was added, as you'd expect of any valuation model.

    Unusual GoDaddy Lander

    As others have said, it's a standard template for domains pending verification, for example. It's short & sharp and has a clear call to action.

    Godaddy valuations

    Yeah, GoDaddy did some routine work on updating the appraisal algorithm. There are one or two more small changes to come, too.

    GoDaddy threatened to lock my account while on vacation.

    Hey Frank, Afternic/Uni/Dan is another thing - but I'd like to know whether you're still having issues with logging in? Will DM you for more details.

    SafeNames.net - seems a bit of a waste

    SafeNames is a corporate registrar that has hundreds of ultra premium names under registration for its clients. There are plenty of domains that point to those landing pages. I'm not sure of the reason why, but it's something other corporate registrars do. Tier.com is a good example.

    GoDaddy .ca domain list expirations

    Thanks for clarifying. I can work out who to chat to in order to change that. If it does need changing, I might chat with you and some other .ca investors to see what you'd like the wording to be... but that might be down the road some way!

    GoDaddy .ca domain list expirations

    @MapleDots can you email me a summary of this issue & feedback to jiles@godaddy.com? I'd like to let the relevant departments know that this is potentially confusing.
