@sh0kunin Aman, a domain which gets renewed for approx 9000INR in my GD a/c now @GoDaddy is leving a redemption fees of 8000INR. Pure greed that is being displayed. No other registrar does it @Namecheap is another place where I shop domains but never that were bothered

@CloudflareDev Why doesnt Cloudflare have a phone line you can call for support? GoDaddy crushes you there and they prevent people from moving domains to you and there is no one to call and talk to. Your customer support is really awful

@Darcymason GoDaddy makes 80% of network sales, and Namecheap made 50% more sales than all other DLS partners below them combined. It doesn't matter how many partners they get, they can't come remotely close without GoDaddy. Same reason Sedo is crickets even with a "large" network.

There is such a thing as trusting automation too much Migrating nameservers from godaddy to cloudflare for a client Automation grabs big list... "Looks like it got all of 'em, hit next don't be bothered, order stuff from costco, replace clipboard content from godaddy NS with salmon fillets" Ouch, oh ****, is a subdomain site down...DID IT MISS ONE

Here’s the move: Scrape every expired domain off registrars like GoDaddy, Namecheap, and Porkbun. Surface level these are just abandoned URLs, but the gold isn’t in the name – it’s in the metadata. Most expired domains are remnants of real businesses, spinouts, or content plays that left behind breadcrumbs: backlinks, Moz rank, old traffic, brand mentions, even their ghost social media accounts. The play? Revive them with their existing footprint. This isn’t a domain flipping arbitrage where you buy for $10 and sell for $5k (though you can). It’s a signal-growth arbitrage. An asymmetric launchpad to resurrect abandoned relevancy that still carries weight online. First, you build a scraper that pulls every expired domain under specified criteria: backlinks to known publications, archived traffic via tools like Ahrefs, and specific niches (e.g., e-commerce brands, niche blogs, legacy Yelp entries). Run this clean list through OpenCorporates or a state LLC database to pull associated business entity info, previous owner names, and filing statuses. Is the LLC dissolved? Are trademarks still live? These determine how aggressively you can operate post-buyout: either as a cheeky rebrand revival or outright shadow clone. Next, cross-check the ghost site with its archived competitors. Most of these directories and small publishers built backlinks in heavily interlinked ecosystems – rankings in niches like D2C, local services, and content aggregators are HIGHLY parasitic. You don’t have to rebuild a perfect business model; you just attach yourself to their existing domain graph and profit off both borrowed SEO juice and category recall. Here’s an example. I’ve seen expired domains from shuttered furniture startups that still pull 100+ organic hits daily due to legacy Pinterest pins, influencer backlinks, Instagram SEO users tagging the name, and content aggregators that never cleaned their links. You buy the domain for $10, drop a Shopify or Notion “contact me for inventory” placeholder within 12 hours, then link to an active dropship site until traffic stabilizes. You monetize their traffic and customer confusion into private-label arbitrage. Got another layer? Backlink shadowing. Resurrect an abandoned domain and then cold email all existing backlink partners (the blogs, listicles, “Top 10 tools” articles KEEPING their SEO alive). Your email is simple: “Hi – the URL on your page linking to X is broken. My team has repaired it following a brand merge. Could you swap links to our updated page?” Most content managers don’t blink. Boom, you just highjacked hundreds of inbound organic links from zombie domains AND leftover active competitor pages. Scaling involves operating vertical-specific “ghost farms.” Bundle entire micro-niches – abandoned domains of elder law firms, SaaS pricing comparison blogs, legacy templates-for-download libraries – which serve clear resale audiences (think affiliate marketeers, e-commerce grinders, SEO operators). Package these domains, leaving the existing relevance untouched so customers can drop on top of working SEO juice. When layered correctly, this isn’t just individual domain sniping; it’s a system to become the primary operator in any niche left stagnant by abandoned domain inertia. Add one final cherry: feed competitor data. Let their dead URLs become YOUR growth vector. The internet’s graveyard holds ROI. You just need a shovel.

@zenorocha Cloudflare can potentially handle email domain issues (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) for customers because they're also a registrar/DNS host. Have you thought about collaborating with Vercel domain (strong api oriented domain registrar / DNS host) or maybe GoDaddy to bridge that gap?

@allenanalysis That article doesn't say he's under investigation or that he stole data. It says he created a CDN ( a completely legitimate product/Service) in highschool that had a customer who did bad things. Gee let's ask cloudflare or GoDaddy how many times customers have done bad things.

The Don of Email
(@donofemail) reported
I call this the "Abandoned Proxy Play."Here’s how to build a $1M/year intelligence platform monetizing orphaned domain infrastructure and the cracks in corporate IT. Step 1: Scrape every domain registrar’s zone file (Verisign, Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.). Cross-reference them with public WHOIS records and MX lookups to identify expired but repurchased domains that once belonged to legit companies. These are usually bought by sketchy actors for email spoofing, phishing proxies, or weaponized redirects. Why does this matter? Because the repurchased domains often still have residual legitimacy *baked in*: subdomain permissions, wildcard SSL certs, third-party platform access (Slack, Dropbox, Google Drive), or misconfigured corporate apps that still trust them. This makes them perfect attack vectors. Step 2: Go deep into DNS/MX history on these expired domains. Use archive tools (Wayback Machine, DNSdumpster, VirusTotal) to trace how they were historically configured. Did they serve emails, run an app, host important redirects? Were they ever tied to marketing campaigns, SaaS accounts, or employee dashboards? Every breadcrumb is a vector. Step 3: Once you’ve flagged high-risk or high-value expired domains, run specialized recon tools (Nuclei, Sublist3r, Amass) against them. You’re looking for subdomains/records that are still active but should no longer be tied to the infrastructure. Examples: – API keys left exposed in old URL strings. – Legitimate mail servers still responding to spoof tests. – Public Dropbox/Drive links still tied to subdomains. – Malformed OAuth flows that allow privilege escalation. Here’s where it gets wild. Step 4: Rank domains based on "infrastructure vulnerability score"and monetize in two parallel streams: Stream 1 – Corporate Security Intelligence. Build a SaaS platform that sells alerts to companies running sensitive apps/tools tied to orphaned domains. Email them: “Your abandoned domain [X] is still active on [Y third-party platform] and presents a supply chain risk.” $2k–5k per subscription for proactive orgs. Stream 2 – Threat Intelligence Ecosystem. Package detailed reports on high-risk expired domains and sell to cybersecurity startups, SOC analysts, penetration testers, or small MSPs. Bundle access to your tools/API for private sector researchers. $499/month for individuals, $5k/month for larger firms. Step 5: Scale data relentlessly with cold outreach and partnerships. Used Levelinbox to buy 10k inboxes and blasted every cybersecurity team at companies on Crunchbase. Pre-wrote templates for specific platform risks: “Found your legacy Slack channel still accepting DMs from an expired corporate domain. Want a full audit?” Step 6: Protect your moat. Build your own lightweight Chrome extension that scans a company’s authentication flows for expired domain usage during sign-in (like an API recon bot). Offer free trials to C-suite execs at major orgs via email campaigns, then upsell enterprise plans post-installed usage spike. This isn’t speculation. Expired domains are massive vectors, and IT sprawl keeps leaking attack surfaces. Every corporate misstep in the DNS/MX world becomes fuel for your intelligence engine. You're monetizing the laziness of expired infrastructure. You don’t own the holes—you *sell clear maps of them.* Play executed, signal controlled.

The problem: Cold email domains getting flagged because registrars like GoDaddy and NameCheap expose your domain identity. Most people pay premium prices for DNS management and still get terrible deliverability. Cloudflare changes everything.

@dudufolio Yeah, Cloudflare makes it super super super easy to migrate. It's even easier if you're using Cloudflare as the DNS because Cloudflare goes "all these sites you can move over, do it?" via a bulk option. I can't imagine not using Cloudflare to manage DNS. That alone is such a huge upgrade. But yeah, it's not as painful as you think. GoDaddy is particularly egregious in both overcharging and also awful UX + trying to make it more painful to transfer out. But it's worth it, GoDaddy is literally the worst.

It's curious that Amazon AWS, Cloudflare, Godaddy, Google, Visa, Mastercard and many more 'critical' infrastructure providers, as well as service providers like Reddit were previously quick to remove and ban things, implicating their safety and ethics, but less than motivated to do it in slightly different circumstances. Perhaps it's a sign that they've grown and changed, that we've grown as a society. Or perhaps it's bias, bigotry and virtue signaling (because you can't signal virtue when you are in disagreement (or don't disagree) with those in your in-group to whom you want to signal virtue.

Cloudflare will be eating GoDaddy alive in 5-10 years for domain registration, GoDaddy is a rip-off. once you discover Cloudflare has a domain registration service that's actually much cheaper and doesn't "get you" on good domain names, you'll never look back! Thank you @eastdakota
