Well it looks like Examiner.com got renewed, the auction was over $131,000 and earlier today the name got renewed. While typing in Examiner.com I get a security warning. Whois updated Registrant Name: Domain Manager Registrant Organization: Axs Digital Media Group, LLC Registrant Address: Co, US Creation Date: September 13, 1994 Update Date: October 30, 2019 […]

I had pointed out of price correction, but look what just happened!

Who is to be held accountable for so many lost hours of time and effort on research work + bidding? @GoDaddy ?

Agree, it just looks bad because they have lost a lot of trust in the product.

I barely participate (only if I have to) in their auctions due to such instances and often occurrences.

Hi,

I did suggest them to start auction after it past grace period.

But they always come up with some nice excuse and think all other traders are fool. They don't know what is going on.

They only care for their own agenda. They take their powerful position in domain market for granted.

But what if Google & Amazon come into the space??

GM was #1 company in 2001 and filed bankruptcy in 2008.

Kodak was # 4 company in early 2000 and filed for bankruptcy later.

The company who do not listen to their customer and start taking their position for granted will suffer big time sooner or later.

Thanks

What I think the biggest thing is the inconsistencies as I pointed out before between Dispute.com and 6666666.com, how those auctions were handled were not in anyway consistent with their policy.

They do have a complex road to navigate when they auction off other registrars domains because they cannot dictate to them what their grace periods and redemption are. Now you wonder why they don't make them change their terms to be universal with theirs, if those registrars had their own auction platform with a large following they would not use GoDaddy, so they need GoDaddy more than GoDaddy needs their business.

How was it renewed? I thought once an expired auction started it was too late at that point. The domain is registered at godaddy as well.

No only after 30 days, there is a 4 to 5 day window of an auction running and the ability to renew.

That is not my understanding. I believe the new rule is, once an expired domain receives a bid, it’s not renewable @Joe Styler

They just make their own rules up as they go along, happened to me a couple of weeks ago.

I won Guernsey.org at Godaddy expired auction on 14th October, made payment same day and then on the 23rd (day before I'm due to take ownership) they refund me the money. When I called support they told me previous owner had reclaimed the name.....

I believe that registrars should not be allowed to profit from expired domains. How’s that for an opinion?!

No it's not and Paul Nicks even said it last night on Twitter. He said it could even be renewed after 30 days if extenuating circumstances.

A lot of people have that opinion, I believe the opinion of GoDaddy and other registrars is "We don't care what domain investors think" It was something they lucked into, ICANN never meant for them to get rich off this.

I dunno... What I do know is that they shouldn't be auctioning off names that can still be renewed. Everyone is doing it but that doesn't make it right.

Here was the back and forth last night

Paul tweeted again when I asked can it be renewed:

Not sure how many days post expiry it is, but if its after 30, then not without extenuating circumstances.

I replied:

No Paul this one is weird created because the expiry and create are not in unison Creation Date: September 13, 1994 Expires: October 2, 2020 But it's not 30 days yet. What would extenuating circumstances be if it were 30 days after?



Now Paul replied

Cant enumerate all possible issues that could come up (death or other hardships as an example). I'm not a fan of zero-tolerance policies; there should always be room for nuance.

This was my understanding too. I'm sure I remember a big thing about it with emails being sent out to explain it etc.

I agree.

GoDaddy changed two years ago, everyone should read the thread here, as there is a lot of back and forth, Paul and Joe explain a lot. Joe also explains GoDaddy cannot control registrar partners, the new rules are only for GoDaddy names. Enom allows names to be recovered after the auction ends, Name.com has different rules, Domain.com does and so on, etc...

Good morning,

We are making a change to our domain name expiry process and wanted to give you enough notice to make decisions on your portfolio. GoDaddy is changing the domain renewal timeline from 42 to 30 days for most domains. Based on our research, less than 1% of our customers renew after 30 days.

Starting Dec 4, the following changes will happen to expired domain names:
* After Day 5 of expiration, DNS, email, hosting, redirecting and any other DNS-dependent services will be interrupted and stop working.
* After Day 30 of expiration, domain names are no longer able to be renewed or transferred away.

We wanted to give a heads -up so you have enough notice to make decisions on your portfolio. As always please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Thanks,

Section 7 of their T&C's

"For domain names that are registered with GoDaddy but designated as Expired Domain Names and listed using the Auction format, change of ownership will not be completed until forty five (45) days after the original date of expiration (approximately ten (10) days after the close of the Auction).

So someone who controls examiner.com died? Otherwise there aren’t extenuating circumstances and allowing a renewal is bad business.

No Keith, the domain was not expired past 30 days, any name not 30 days expired can be renewed. The auction starts day 26

Godaddy's own expired name auction start on 24th day after expiration. Its 10 days auction. So if name passed 30 days grace period then it can't be renewed.

For example Vomit.com is new expired name from Godaddy itself.

It was expired on 6th October 2019.

Auction start date is 30th October 2019.

Now it has 9 days 22 hours left.

Name can still be renewed upto November 5th approximately. So if name pass that time frame of 30 days after expiration then it can't be renewed.

I hope this info it little helpful to you as well as all other friends on NP.

Thanks
