Nice find

It's great to see a big registrar like Godaddy putting it's time and money into something it believes in

namewaiter · 06-19-2007, 01:21 PM

yea .. they know a thing or two about domain names

Keith · 06-19-2007, 01:23 PM

I'm thinking that this is huge news! Thanks for the news Gemulder.

To launch by big company their own .mobi site is trend already.

*nrmillions* · 06-19-2007, 01:29 PM

This was mentioned a couple weeks ago and is very good news. If you go to TDNAM.com they have a TDNAM.mobi icon on the top of their site with a picture of a cellphone for you to click on.

This is a smart move by GoDaddy, it promotes a new tld that they will be happy to sell you

thebiffenator · 06-19-2007, 02:37 PM

Defintly a great move by godaddy, great find GEm. And it would be so nice to sell the name on godaddy and not worry about any kind of transfer worries

Just noticed that it redirects to tdnammobile.com, and godaddymobile.com for login.

Though I have to say this is great, I can definitely see myself using it - I've needed to check on auctions I'm bidding on when nowhere near a pc before.

garrett200 · 06-19-2007, 04:13 PM

I like this part:

As the overlap between mobile technology, domain names and Web hosting grows, along with the rise in popularity of .mobi domain names, businesses are quickly updating their Web sites so that users can more easily access them via their mobile devices.

I'm not sure where it redirects to when you access it from a mobile phone but they are only advertising TDNAM.mobi, not tdnammobile.com.

I believe this is still the current status, IMHO.

No link / mention of the .MOBI on the GoDaddy .COM home page, IMHO.

Another thing I can rembember back around Nov or Dec 06 was that godaddy would not auction off/aftermarket .mobis back then (I could be wrong though).

This could be a great spark for it, and godaddy loves advertising!

panman · 06-19-2007, 09:47 PM

Hopefully they're not advertising just for us, between us all Godaddy must be making ten of thousands from us!

Seriously that is good news, good on them for supporting .mobi

GoDaddy made so much money from me in the past 6 months, they assigned me a VIP Account Exec who calls and checks up on me regularly, its so funny he calls and I tell him the same thing every time, I dont need anything, just keep selling me domains when I order thats all

I dropped 5k there in the past 3 months... The Registerfly fiasco has kind of made me paranoid. I'm keeping every single name with reliable registrars from this moment on

garrett200 · 06-19-2007, 10:25 PM

I think GoDaddy is good for buying domains, you dont have to worry if they will fold or take your domain and run. But I dont like them for parking, They want ME to PAY them to park my domains? LOL, I dont think so...

Agreed, I wonder what was being smoked when the came up with that one

garrett200 · 06-19-2007, 10:28 PM

GD does not park .mobis anyway, so who cares.

bachelor2000 · 06-20-2007, 12:15 AM

huge news!

MAY BE mobi park on FASTPARK.net is better

loko123 · 06-20-2007, 12:51 AM

domain parking with godaddy, no way!. but having now mobi domains is great news.

garrett200 · 06-20-2007, 12:59 AM

Well, to be fair they do give you free parking if you're a domain club member. I actually tried parking there for a couple weeks, and got a lot of "$0.00" clicks, and that was supposedly at 80% revenue share. 80% of zero is still zero, lol.
