  @feifei_qiu @JinjingLiang Turns out Anthro is just a Godaddy domain and a squarespace that some poor designer has scaled to infinity And Dario is a fast typer.

  @domainicate @afternic Congrats. I have analysed after GoDaddy shut down Dan, one of the best marketplaces they bought over, and shifted to GD landers, the enquiries went down crashing. And further analysis yields, the listings at afternic ( it is virtually GoDaddy and not AN, which itself used be another top marketplace with plenty of sales before GD bought and shut it down too) do not generate a sale except a direct landing at URL, which seems what happened here. And most of sales of GD are now low priced domain sales. They earn much better at auctioning old dropped names, that they do not sell otherwise through the landers.

  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.

  @GoDaddy Thieves!! Stole my money and for a product they don’t service and I can’t make changes. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Plenty of other platforms.

  Tobi Lütke: "Every 36 seconds someone gets their first sale. Jack Altman asks Tobi Lütke a simple question: for someone starting a small company, what is fundamentally different about 2029 versus 2023? Tobi's answer starts with a grievance about the last forty years of computing. "You techies talked about computers being these incredible things that can do anything," he says, imitating the small business owner. And then the owner tries it. "I don't know what you guys... you sound unhinged." The promise was real. The interface was the problem. "And now we can talk to it and it just does the thing, and it's incredible. It just works with me. I've expanded my business and I've hired all these people." For Tobi this isn't a side effect. It's the whole point: "It fits into Shopify's vision, because we want lots and lots and lots of small companies. And by the way, 60, 70, 80% depending on country of people in the economy work for small businesses. They are incredibly precious and important." So what should change by 2029? "You should sign up for more. You can follow your ambition further… [It's] going to get to a point where many, many, many more people can self-actualize." Then he offers the two data points he says he finds most meaningful. The first is a number: "Every 36 seconds someone gets their first sale which, while we're talking here, I think about what that means for how many people just became entrepreneurs." The second is a mental model. Tobi describes the beginning of every business as a series of hurdles: "Every single time we ship something where we know it meaningfully changes something about the early journey: the sign-up, the complexity, the questions, the friction in the business, each of them can be best thought of as a hurdle that someone has to jump over. And every single time we manage to make the hurdle slightly less high because we made something just vastly better… every single time you do this, more actual businesses come out of it, which then provide employment and so on." His example of a hurdle being lowered: domains. First you could register them. Then transfer them easily. "And in fact these days, [we] have an AI that you can share your browser tab and it helps you set up GoDaddy." Trivial-sounding. That's precisely the argument. The hurdles that kill companies are almost never the dramatic ones. They're administrative, early, and boring and they arrive before there is any momentum to absorb them: "People turn out early in the process if something happens that ends up being a governor for them, and then they null out. They give up and they stop and then the entire business doesn't exist." That's the cost nobody measures, businesses that were never attempted past the sign-up form. Which is why Tobi frames AI not as a productivity tool but as a hurdle-lowering machine: "AI never has there been such a thing that can be so supportive." The constraint on entrepreneurship was never ambition or talent. It was friction stacked at the front of the journey, where founders have the least conviction and the fewest resources. AI's contribution isn't making good companies better. It's making marginal companies exist at all.

  @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.

  cringe warning: I changed the price back to the original $1m few reasons: 1. people are in my email offering amounts dangerously close to the amount its publicly listed for. offers for $50k(euro), $150k, and $250k, with no way to know if they were real, although some felt really real. i guess on the website i never mention where to buy it and its not on godaddy so people just don't realize its there for the taking. $300k is truly not that much money to some people, even if it is a decent amount to me. i ultimately want this to get into the right hands. 2. $1m is a story. $300k is not a story. i didn't go semi-viral for nothing. we gotta land this damn plane! a night of sleeping on it made me realize this is a better story for xAI anyway. 3. $1m is life changing and would make a massive difference in the overall financial security i would have in my life. could even retire at a reasonable age. there are other reasons but these are the thoughts that have been swirling around. i know its kinda insane to be changing the price and obviously i wish i never have but this is a real and unfolding thing that's happening. and i'm really about to head out the door to go on this silent meditation retreat for the whole weekend so decision had to be made now. xAI, elon, whoever, if you're reading this and don't feel like paying the full mil, email me. but i'll be truly OOO until later sunday ET. i think you should do it tho.

  Longtime customer. Two OOP requests already filed by your own reps. Both rejected. No path to escalate. $216 for a product that sat unused. That’s the whole story. They are overpriced and unsympathetic. I'm done with them. Not one more penny. @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddyPro

  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.

  After nearly 27 years as a @GoDaddy customer and domain investor, I lost two potentially profitable domains because of what I consider GoDaddy’s negligence in communicating a major change to its closeout process. A closeout domain is no longer reserved when added to your shopping cart. Multiple buyers can check out simultaneously, and the first transaction to process wins. Yesterday, I placed two domains in my cart and proceeded through checkout, but received no confirmation or order record. A GoDaddy Premier Services representative later told me someone else had beaten me to both domains by seconds. The explanation: customers had been holding domains in their carts for up to two hours. I agree that was excessive—but why not shorten the reservation period to five or ten minutes? Instead, GoDaddy eliminated it entirely, turning checkout into a Wild West race. I received no email, call or clear warning about this consequential change. Had I known, I would have adjusted my purchasing process and checked out each domain immediately. Instead, I handled the transaction under the rules I reasonably believed were still in effect—and lost two potentially profitable investments. I should not have had to discover this policy by losing domains during checkout. Has anyone else lost a @GoDaddy closeout domain this way—or received advance notice that the policy had changed?
