    Introducing Afternic Boost: More domain visibility, more domain sales

    OK, please correct me if my numbers are off... Let's say that baseline sales are $10,000 without boost for names using GoDaddy NS which means a base commission of 15%. At Base $10,000 sales $ 1,500 commission $ 8.500 to seller If sales achieve the full "up to" 10% boost...Commission shifts to...

    Missing domain names in my GoDaddy account

    Real innovation isn't happening. Bugs at GoDaddy have very long and happy lives. I agree that the practice of moving names, or hiding them, without notice is entirely unacceptable. It's disrespectful and bad business in my opinion. I'm not convinced, though, that GoDaddy does or will care...

    GoDaddy checkout links use GoDaddy URLs rather than terminated DAN. Impressive. That bar is set very low for GD tech celebrations.

    Slow pay record... I've generally found that Afternic pays promptly. Yes, I've had exceptions. Most of those have felt like ones that slipped through the cracks as things do with that platform. I don't think that the moves between beta and 2.0 are helping in general with stability or...

    BIN names resolving as May Be Available I came across a batch of my names with BIN landers set. The listings within my Afternic account are as I set them. Unfortunately, the landers say "may be for sale." When I search the names in GoDaddy, the pricing information is wrong and does not match...

    How on earth does one DM an example of slow? I just tested a name and it took 20 seconds to move from search to cart. That's painfully slow. Do you need a video with timer embedded @GoDaddy? The report that you need a DM for seems crystal clear. And there are plenty of similar reports. Take some...

    I have internally debated whether GoDaddy's platform is archaic and poorly suited to growth versus GoDaddy flat out not caring. At this time, I believe that it is both with not caring having the upper hand. Clearly, GoDaddy has the financial resources to make things right but for whatever...

    Thank you to everyone who is pushing Spaceship's Seller Hub forward. If they can achieve a sales platform that is roughly equivalent to what Dan offered, the world will be a much better place for domain investors and sellers.

    GoDaddy is incredibly proud and all puffed up to announce that bulk search sometimes works. Other basic functionality as seen elsewhere circa 1998 is possibly coming soon! Please excuse my exhaustion from GoDaddy congratulating themselves for occasionally achieving basic functionality.

    information My frustrating first experience with Afternic Custom Checkout Link.

    This absolutely resonated with me. I could not agree more. GoDaddy is not a particularly good registrar. Afternic is now is just the name of GoDaddy's sales platform -- it's not a site and not a marketplace -- and Dan was far better for sellers in terms of reliability, usability, and features...

    We replaced the windshield wipers but your car no longer starts. Cars that start are not our target vehicles.

    Our beta testing is worse than free. We test, find problems, and report them. Traditionally that information would be used to correct the problems and eliminate the bugs. That part doesn't happen. The beta testing is free and it is wasted. GoDaddy incorporates one or more of these: 1. Doesn't...

    I was checking prices this evening because, you know, GoDaddy doesn't always choose to display the ones we set. In doing so, I am finding names set to BIN landers are showing as Request Price. Gotta love GoDaddy!

    Given the volume (duration and escalation) of problems, it would be appreciated and appropriate for GoDaddy/Afternic to remove the NS penalty. It won't happen but it should.* GoDaddy's Carrot and Stick policy -- Boost is the bitter, withered carrot of reward. Their punitive NS policy is...

    Introducing Afternic Boost: More domain visibility, more domain sales

    For GoDaddy, it does seem difficult. I say that sincerely after watching them for two decades. It does not seem to be in their DNA. They always seem to want to work an angle, find the gimmick. There are good people there. There are smart people there. Somehow, though, the path of creating a...

    Introducing Afternic Boost: More domain visibility, more domain sales

    I'm thrilled to announce that I'm celebrating Boost Eve by adding most of my names back to Sedo and using their NS for those names, moving them away from GoDaddy NS. This may be a short-term move but I decided to whisper my displeasure to GoDaddy in this way. They probably won't hear my whisper...

    I am again seeing a difference between prices set in Afternic to what is displayed on Afternic landing pages and from within GoDaddy when I search for the names. This seems to be an occasional but probably not overly rare glitch where price changes show within Afternic but not out there in the...

    Fill in the blank with almost any conceivable technical or development issue under the sun and I'd share that emotion.
