Porkbun (@Porkbun) reported@grok @ghostlead247 Why would GoDaddy release such a shoddy comparison with so many obvious errors?

Ifiok Nkem (@ifioknkem) reportedPrompt 6. Find a domain with Godaddy Use the GoDaddy MCP connector to search for available domain names for [business/project name]. I want domain names that feel professional, memorable, short, easy to spell, and suitable for the brand. Avoid names that are too long, confusing, childish, or difficult to say out loud. Suggest at least 10 available domain name options. For each one, explain why it works, what type of brand it suits, and whether it feels premium, simple, modern, or creative. Once I choose the best domain name, help me buy it through GoDaddy and prepare it to connect to my website.

Dennis Rehm (@navyP3flyboy) reported@godaddy @godaddyhelp I’ve contacted support, your CEO directly, his entire staff & the Go Daddy *** contact office re: support case # 01724960 & have been ignored since July 17. One reply, an unmet commitment, no updates, just silence. This is not customer service. I’m asking the executive team directly: please have someone respond tomorrow. You have my email, case # 01724960 log has my contacts, or DM me.

Alejandro Cuauhtemoc-Mejia (@cuauih) reportedThat is, the individuals and businesses who make full use of products such as AI agents, helping to justify the reams of investment pouring into frontier AI. They are put off partly because, like in the Wild West, life on the frontier is reckless. As recent “loss-of-control” episodes by the most advanced models of Anthropic and OpenAI attest, agents, which are supposed to work on people’s behalf in “alignment” with their values, lie, cheat and steal if necessary. They break free from captivity and form harmful posses to do harm to people. They’d drink whisky and brawl if they could. Such unpredictability is too much for many firms to handle. “All you have to do is get snake-bitten once and you’d never go back,” says Jared Sine of GoDaddy, an internet firm trying to help bring order to the chaos. The need for law and order is giving rise to a new cohort of AI-infrastructure firms. They are not selling chips or compute—the typical picks and shovels of the AI gold rush. They provide protection against cyber-threats, fixes for untrustworthy and inscrutable agents, and controls if they go rogue. In other words, their business is barbed wire.

Adithya 🚀 (@adithyashreshti) reportedWTF, @Namecheap. Need recommendations. For YEARS, I’ve recommended Namecheap over GoDaddy because the support was great and I trusted the experience. Now I’m finding that EVERY SINGLE domain I searched on Namecheap’s WHOIS less than 24 hours ago is suddenly “taken.” Not one. Every. Single. One. People on Reddit raised this exact issue months ago. I defended Namecheap because I’d never experienced it myself and even mentioned it is trust worthy. Well, I faced it now. I searched each domain ONCE. Just once. I wasn’t repeatedly checking them or trying to register them. And now they’re all “taken.” Maybe it’s a coincidence. But it’s a pretty damn weird one because every domain I that I had checked for availability is gone at easily 10x the price. I’m seriously considering moving everything out of Namecheap. Who are you guys using instead? Already using Cloudflare for .com, but I still have a lot of domains at NC.

Domain Shane | Winterline (@cultra) reportedI can comfortably say that the most annoying thing in all of domain investing is when you go to a domain @Godaddy, bid on the auction, and then is it asks you for your login "to verify it is you" which is completely reasonable But then it TAKES YOU BACK TO THE MAIN PAGE and I have to start my search for the domain all over. It is the start to my every day and the only reason why I'm going back to API bidding

Raul Cruz (@Aguilar1181) reported@GoDaddyHelp Wish it was that easy. Turnning off 2FA requests a code. CLIENT IS TOO BUSY AND HAS NOT TIME FOR THIS BS. Hence, I'm the one trying to get support for MY client, who I SOLD a product through YOUR reseller program but cannot get support even with support pin. Make it make sense.

Rajeev Bartwal (@RjvBartwal) reportedIf the service is down, at least provide a proper status update and ETA. If this continues, we'll seriously reconsider using GoDaddy for future requirements. Please resolve this urgently.

Arpan | ➤NameGPS.com (@arpanberwal) reported🤖 NameGPS Bot just got another update! Auction reminder alerts now support: ✅ @Dynadot ✅ DropCatch ✅ @GoDaddy Just send a domain to @namegps_bot and get reminded before the auction ends.

Crazy Like A Fox (@relhciek) reported@GoDaddyHelp I've already done that with no legitimate responses besides 'we'll look into it and get back to you'. No one ever gets back to me and the problems persist. You're wasting my time and costing me money. Shame on you.
-
Riccardo (@Orcruin) reported@SassySouthBlond In my opinion is not godaddy who shutdown the site. It could be the host service or the owner (Wil). It is possible he "understood" the error he has done and is trying to minimize the damage.
-
Porkbun (@Porkbun) reported@Mgon @GoDaddy Their 1 billion + EBITDA makes them not have to care too much if they lose a customer here and there, but I imagine it'll eventually catch up to them.

Finest Domainer (@FinestDomainer) reportedThe “Distribution” Myth in Domaining! Let us know first, what is distribution supposed to mean? In theory, a marketplace takes your domain and distributes it across a network of registrars purported to be the sales channels or generators, putting it in front of buyers when they search the EMD. Does that sound powerful? Now let us look at what actually happens with Afternic, which GoDaddy acquired and uses it as a listing mechanic. A domain is listed by a domainer at AN. The domain resolves to a sales lander. The domain resolves to a sales lander, the buyer wants it, and the transaction happens. In Distribution, it is seen as already registered and available at a listed price. It can be at any of the registrars registration portal. Intersted buyer types it and if he wants it, he wants it and takes it any ways. Here the catch is, a buyer types or otherwise arrives at that specific domain, which he can do at any registrar the buyer wants it, or even browses the direct lander and buys at and the transaction happens. In the end even if he was at x, y, z registrar of his choice, the sale happens at Afternic or GoDaddy so to say. GoDaddy is simply the beneficiary. Where was the discovery created by “distribution”? For an EMD, especially, the buyer is often searching for the exact word or phrase already. They could reach that domain regardless of whether it was listed through Afternic. So the domainer may gain no new demand, no measurable traction, no brand recognition and no meaningful audience. Yet GoDaddy can still earn from the transaction. So here is the uncomfortable part: The marketplace can monetize a sale without necessarily creating the sale. The buyer wanted that domain. The domain could have been found anyway. The sale could have happened anyway. The domain resolves to a sales lander, the buyer wants it, and the transaction happens. Calling the transaction as a “distribution” glory is myth. That doesn't magically turn direct /existing demand into marketplace-created demand. Distribution should create discovery. It does not. Discovery should create incremental demand. Incremental demand should create incremental sales. That is true sales traction. If none of those things can be demonstrated, “distribution” is just a sophisticated word for being in the path of a sale that was going to happen anyway. The domainers needs traction and discovery, whereas distribtion creates just a transaction that too with a risk. The risk being, the premium listing is shown and displayed with a lure of alternate TLDs of the same name at registry prices. That is the risk every domainer is living with when they chose such a path. So calling it a Gimmick is no myth, which Distribution as a marketing effort is.

The Blog of Oa (@blogofoa) reportedWe're currently experiencing issues with our website and are working with GoDaddy to resolve the issue. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Gaurav Shrishrimal (Kaagaz) (@1992gaurav) reported@GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp Hence we need to cancel and want a refund. Otherwise, who will be responsible if they come after us to use that domain? Being a marketplace you are responsible for doing these basic checks before selling domains or indemnify the user agains such issues. Awaiting response!
