news Dan.com to increase comission from 9% to 15% effective Feb 1st 2023

For those of us who have a lot of domains listed on Dan with 'buy now' prices in GBP (British Pounds) this is a mess. Our commission rate has increased to 15% but we can't agree to the domains being listed on afternic/godaddy network unless we are prepared to accept two different prices i.e. a...

domains Ex DAN CEO Reza might actually come back

I don't blame Reza for selling - most of us would have done the same. He may genuinely not have expected these changes to have been made. It would be good to hear from him on this. So does anyone know if he has ever posted on namepros?

Finally it shows 'not listed' on Afternic network for all our domain portfolio on Dan. That's a relief - must be sorted then.........................just one small problem - just checked a couple and they are still listed for sale on 123-reg and godaddy with BINs. So I would check some of your...

new gtlds ALERT: .XYZ Registry Stealing Back Newly Registered Numerics?

Absolute Disgrace - I think their greedy stance will cost them more than the value of these domains in negative PR. Who on earth would spend a lot of time and money developing an xyz domain?

analysis Is GoDaddy Appraisal Value A Useful Filter?

Thanks Bob for this very useful study. It's timely too as I was scratching my head recently trying to work out just why GoDaddy tool was valuing .uk domains so low. I even watched a video on youtube featuring @Joe Styler and he was asked at 6.10 about comparable sales and using info from...

news Dan.com to increase comission from 9% to 15% effective Feb 1st 2023

This increase is way over the top. We've been with dan for a couple of years. Good service and wouldn't want to move domains away - but seriously considering this now. We've got a decent sized portfolio and moved to dan from sedo (due mainly to dan's low commission rates). But sedo looks...

domains Are European domainers going to start getting shunned?

I wouldn't blame the rest of the world blocking EU traffic from their websites. In fact it might help reverse all this GDPR nonsense. However spare a thought for us poor souls in the UK. We voted to get out of the EU and we're still adopting their pathetic rules. Nominet, this week, removed...

330K .eu doms to be cancelled as UK pulls out of EU

I wouldn't call returning sovereignty to our shores 'a stupid move'. I'm looking forward to the day when we make our own laws again and control our own destiny. This quote in a report in The Register is a little reminder why the British public voted for brexit. 'Even more remarkably, EURid...

Agree with Lotk - if they were shown as available for registration and he registered them - then how can they snatch them back?

new gtlds Everyone saying to not invest in gTLD

problem is a number of these ngtlds look like they are going to fail - and a lot of them are likely to charge exorbitant renewal fees - so you're taking a chance spending a lot of time and money on an ngtld project. Most of the ngtld registrations are speculative - domainers jumping from one...

analysis Is GoDaddy Appraisal Value A Useful Filter?

thanks for your feedback on this Joe. I enjoyed the video - good production - and I realise that was a few years ago! - but you'd expect the algorithm to update on a regular basis with comparable sales from 'public information' i.e. namebio. From our perspective the fact that .uk sales have...

analysis Is GoDaddy Appraisal Value A Useful Filter?

maybe its geared towards the .com market - in my example above a two letter, good letters, .uk domain sold for $19k and that sale is listed on namebio. Godaddy tool says $167. You cannot buy any 2 letter .uk domains for that price. Someone needs to amend the algorithm or simply remove...

new gtlds .88 cent domains : How many are you buying?

xyz had nearly 40k deletes yesterday and that wasn't from their 1 cent promotion. Over 3 million domains were added in 3 days one year ago and I expect most of them will drop off soon.

I'm sure .xyz will sort something out. Maybe 2 renewals for a cent, and a new reg thrown in for free :)

I think the .co.uk market is a lot more stable the new gtlds It is finding its feet again after nominet launched the .uk extension in June 2014. There was a long period of consultation before .uk was launched and this caused uncertainty from about November 2012 when existing .co.uk domain...
