  I built @trustTLD for two main reasons 1. it was fun to build, first public SaaS product. Huge inspiration to build and ship from @marclou and @robj3d3 2. buying premium / private domains can be a huge pain The truth is, most domain owners have unrealistic expectations, usually around the true value of their domain. Even more irritating is how difficult it is to actually get in touch with a private seller. Take this example, if you use the GoDaddy broker service and want to contact the owner of a parked taken domain, you have to spend $99.99 (non-refundable btw) to communicate with them. Then a 20% commission on the sale price of the domain, all while communicating with the agent from GoDaddy. For a $10,000 domain acquisition that’s $2,100. Not to mention if the buyer doesn’t respond (majority of the time), you’re still out a $100 and your time. With TrustTLD, domains are verified directly by the seller, and offers can be sent and received, between sellers/buyers directly and privately. This would cost the buyer nothing but transfer fees (<$12). From there, the sale/transfer settles privately between the buyer and seller (full discretion on escrow to close the deal). Other domain acquisition options include auctions and expired listings. Much of these feel inconsistent and scattered, and can many times end with no acquisition. Aside from the domains with an owner that hasn’t surfaced on Earth in last 10 years, we are creating a more direct channel for domain buyers and sellers to verify, communicate, and acquire. TLDR; we make buying and selling premium domains simple

  @d0ma1npunk It depends on the registrar. Some registrars (like CSC) don’t auction or partner with an auction provider. Others auction and good domains never drop (like at GoDaddy) and so a backorder is useless. It’s an opaque process, which is why I built @NotifyDomains.

  Tried to renew my domain today. GoDaddy showed ~$16.70/year. At checkout: ~$27.20 before tax. I thought it was a bug. Turns out ~$10.50 “Full Domain Protection” had been added. I tried turning it off. The entire domain disappeared from the cart. So instead of renewing, I transferred the domain to @Cloudflare Cost: ~$10.46 +1 year included New expiry: 2027 A ~$10.50 upsell turned a renewal into a lost customer. Interesting way to do retention.

  @acz0x1 @KhaledAtieh_ Dan is dead, and if this is an old but live BIN listing on Afternic, it should be displayed at many other registrars too. Probably a sync issue, GoDaddy is still showing an already unlisted domain. I would just ignore.

  @GoDaddyPro Sorry, but this is not impressive. Airo fabricated 12 portfolio companies, $240M in assets, a 2021 vintage, plus investors, supporters and partners we never claimed. Repeated prompts to remove that fiction and repair visibly clipped typography consumed 43 of our 50 credits. The font remains broken and only 7 credits remain. Will GoDaddy restore the credits spent correcting Airo’s fabrications and failed “completed” fixes?

  @GoDaddyHelp Have been a customer for 17 years. Seeking to speak directly to a customer service representative, your chatbots automatically cut me off and call center staff abruptly ended our chat without ever addressing my request. Can you do help, please?

  WTF, @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.

  @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp @Wix I've been with GoDaddy 20 years, it is disappointing to be in this situation. Hey Wix can I transfer my domain, hosting and email to you? Please DM me to discuss. GoDaddy continues ignoring my service case # 01724960. It's been a month, they promised action earlier today, yet still nothing - just as silent as they have been for the past month. GoDaddy CEO, his staff, his *** representatives have been contacted by email but they have not responded either.

  @shubgaur Can I ask it to login to GoDaddy and update my DNS settings so that DMARC and SPF are set properly?

  The “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.

  @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.

  @NametraDotCom @afternic True, and I've been on GoDaddy about it. GoDaddy's reach is massive and I've never seen so many inquiries, but their lack of conversions is disturbing. On our own landers, we got far less inquiries, but 10X as many offers. There's definitely a broken link in the chain here.

  IB) Websites that I'm sure the programmer felt is intuitive, to no one else except them. I always say you have to make it INSANELY easy for people to give you money, & yet over & over I see issues with it. Renewed 4 websites with GoDaddy. One transaction? No 4! #BizapaloozaChat
