information Brent Oxley Loses Access to Create.com, Plus Millions of Dollars Worth of His Domains

Spaceship Spaceship
Watch
Brent Oxley, the founder of HostGator, has been accruing a portfolio of ultra-premium domain names since he sold his hosting company for close to $300 million in 2013.

With purchases such as Give.com for $500,000, Broker.com for $375,000, and Texas.com for $1,007,500, Oxley has spent millions of dollars over the past few years accumulating this collection. According to his website, the portfolio is worth more than $25 million.

Oxley has now, however, lost access to a proportion of his portfolio

Huh, scratching my head :xf.confused:

Brent ˆ

I am not able to renew the locked domains, which is why I emailed you on April 21st, 2020, requesting you all to do so. You still have not renewed these names. You all ensured they would be auto-renewed at expiration; however, I do not feel comfortable considering how incompetent you all have been to date. Can you please renew these names for me as requested using the balance I have on file!!!

----- Re:

For Brent, I want you know that no domain name will be deleted. Consistent with our policy, we have paid for renewals and will continue to pay for renewals as necessary. We're keeping them safe, and leaving them up and running.

That is no excuse for branding everything as Right and Left.

The case has enough merit on it's own.

Clearly not everything is "left and right". I never suggested that it was. What I did suggest, is that this particular case may in fact be as result of making an example out of a rare breed of domainer who happens to also have a "history" of being attacked for his ideological views. There's certainly interesting ideological fact patterns with BOTH parties involved. So again, the fact this "case has enough merit on it's own", hardly answers my question. Again, how many cases like this do you suspect has occurred in the past? How many complaint filings has GoDaddy received in a similar manner, which resulted in millions of dollars of domains being locked up?

Brent was worried HE is unable to pay for renewals due to locked status on domains, but GD clarified they did it on their own.

Per my understanding.

I have no idea, but I would like to find out.

I wasn't even aware of this case until a few days ago.

Right now the baseline is this one case. I am not going to assume there were others, absent evidence.

Some think Godaddy is making an ideological statement since they go against Brent’s seemingly outspoken views...

Also: See what did to AR15.com no warning

Me? Personally, i think it’s part of this notion as part strategy prioritize their international; (VERY WEAK out USA)

Either way, doesnt look good.
Thanks to all contributed! Keep pray for Brent

Godaddy also de-platformed Gab.

Why GD didn't use Brent's balance?

( Enough, moving all domains out of the GD/Uni city, including Afternic)

Agree! btw, the only reason I bring the political aspect up, is due to the sad times that we're currently in. We have seen insanity beyond measure over the last few years in regards to ideological attacks and censorship. Countless people have lost a lot more than merely domains by not conforming to corporate, big-tech ideology. I have also closely followed Brent over the years ever since he sold HostGator. He's sorta been an ideological target for years. There's multiple articles online etc. He's not the standard domain investor. I'm willing to admit that I could be 100% wrong about Godaddy's motive, which is why we do actually need to find out how many seemingly baseless complaints they typically receive in any given year, and whether they've always tossed them, and/or whether this is actually the first time they've decided to take action without a court order etc. However, all of this seems really, really unusual.

Puneet, if you can post a contract that I signed or any legitimate proof of you being entitled a commission on the names of mine you had Godaddy lock, I'll wire you $1 million dollars within 48 hours. Show some proof or move on!

Rob Monster you seem to have gotten through to Puneet on a certain level. Can you find out what he's claiming I owe him and why with proof? Thanks! I've had many chats with him online trying to figure this out and I get the below type of answers from him.

May be under this particular set of circumstances, BRENT thought GD will simply drop the domains.

Wow. So yeah, after seeing those kind of replies, I'll just double down on my suspicions for now, which is that this is likely some type of "personal attack" on Brent that's fueled more by social justice, rather than pure greed. If those replies are indeed real, then Puneet is clearly showing that he has a warped, ideological/political axe to grind, despite Puneet claiming otherwise. The resentment and jealousy factor also seems pretty rampant with Puneet. @create.com I'm not sure why you two ever chose to do any type of business together, but yikes!

It certainly is Hollywood material. There is even an allegation of using domain money on a prostitute...

A prostitute?

A prostitute?

In the court case document, there is mention of Agarwal paying for a prostitute with money that Brent supposedly sent him for a different purpose.

@create.com ,

Here is a question for you and all the other domainers who have very high value domain names:

Why didn't you renew these domains for the maximum 10 year allowed when you had the chance to do so before all these troubles started.

IMO

In the meantime, I feel sorry for any legal system anywhere that faces all this nonsense and has to seriously assess it.

November 2018.

Puneet: just saw someone similar face n body in hotel the Lalit. I came here alone booked one suite from money which u sent sir. I am giving party to myself

Brent: Were in Mumbai for 2 more nights. What does giving self party mean? You having a few drinks? We’re about to go to dinner.

Puneet: Yes sir. I ordered bottle of red wine. I just want to feel 7 star environment and peace with myself. when U reach Delhi sir. Already so many days

Brent: I was confused on your story. Who is this girl you gave money to and paid for a room on? how did you meet her?

Puneet: Hi boss. I just got a number from internet and watsapp number. Then I messaged on that number asking for some girl available. They sent me 8 photos n I choose the most bad one. When I reached hotel , the one they told me to reach , she was already sitting there. Then I make payment and came back

Still waiting on GoDaddy to explain how they can justify locking @create.com's domains down via a baseless complaint filed in India, much less without a court order. It would also be helpful if they could share how many recent cases (or any cases) that are similar to this one, where they've decidedly locked down millions of dollars of domains without having a clear legal reason of doing so. We're all ears!

Second question,

Why did you not use one of the well known and professional brokers in the Industry to help you with your domains,

It's been mentioned a number of times in this discussion, as if Godaddy would treat top domains differently than worthless ones, in this strange procedure. In itself this should be done without regard to the value. But always with a solid legal basis.

Agreed. Also, in the real world, you don't own tens of millions of dollars in domains and have the registrar's CEO oblivious to who you are or whether you've received a baseless complaint or not. If you're an honest person, you also don't look the other way, knowing full well that it's a baseless complaint. In the real world, accounts like Brent's are always monitored. Carefully.

Just sayin'.
