    Afternic Closed Their Marketplace

    I joined the DDC last year. I saw the academy but it looks like a dozen youtube videos and a myspace style messageboard with newbies asking people to appraise lurn2beea-boss247365.net @DrJacoby found it though: https://www.godaddy.com/domain-academy/tools/afternic-advanced-search

    Afternic Closed Their Marketplace

    When you go to Afternic.com there's no option to search for domains. There is a link to GoDaddy where you can search but it doesn't show every name that's available on Afternic. Interesting.

    news Epik LLC Completes Transfer of Epik.com from Epik Holdings Inc.

    I made 3 sales through NameLiquidate and was told in template e-mails I was being paid in store credit (didn't know that was the new policy). The money has not yet been put in my account and no response from support. I'm going to give them a chance to figure things out before I take any actions.

    PayPal Has Limited My Account Because of a GoDaddy Auction Purchase...LOL?

    OK that resolved quicker than I expected. I received this e-mail: Thanks for your help and support everyone! Hopefully this post will be helpful for others in the future.

    alert The fund can't be withdrawal from Epik.com via Masterbucks wallet

    Actually, I overlooked it the first time. I didn't realize that was there (or maybe it wasn't there) when I first contacted support asking them where my funds were for those 3 small domain sales. A few days ago I actually received a message from support telling me they were moving those...

    analysis No XYZ... .COM is KING! Analyzed the URL patterns of over 2 million Crunchbase listed companies.

    I don't remember what exactly was said but someone posted they thought verisign didn't think com was king because they had .tv and will soon have .web. Verisign makes money registering domain names. Whether sex.com sells for $100 or $10 million makes little difference to their bottom line...

    domains Rick Schwartz $1.225M Lease with option deal on HurricaneDamages.com

    I might have snagged it for $5 on a GD closeout and would have been tickled getting an 899 BIN. Could be why I'm not a millionaire domainer though too!

    news GoDaddy is harnessing the power of a new Generative AI tool to help everyone find the right domain name

    ChatGPT is pretty reluctant to break trademark/copyright stuff whenever I try to use it and I'm paying for the $20/mo version. I think AI for handregs by themselves sucks. This is going to encourage names like poolsbykevininsouthfla.com When a good AI should be saying, if you really want to be...

    discuss Misspelling Brandables - your best

    Why didn't Uber spell it with the umlauts??? I much prefer the 5% cash back I get from Lyft. :P

    How is Dynadot profitable with some of the "features" they offer?

    That would be awesome. I bought a few decent names from Namesilo's expiring domains over the last few years and then a while back they decided to upgrade their marketplace and I felt like it was much less usable at least for the methods I was using for search.

    strategy How To Sell Developed Domain Names?

    I think the thing is, websites are worth money for their content and I imagine if the name is decent/fitting then that is a good selling point. If you are buying a website where people come to talk about fishing and it's got an active community with 10 years worth of content, it doesn't matter...

    Dynadot Official Thread

    Moving from Dynadot to Sav seems crazy. Their website is often buggy domains you no longer own stuck in your list, sometimes you have to login via a "legacy login" link to use website functionality. Limited auctions(60 days) and no BIN visibility. And earlier this year they were banning...

    discuss Timely Domains? - Display and explain

    How much did you have to pay the photographer to use that photo of Biden? How does that compare to the other photos you've bought licenses to use for other domains here? Does licensing change for websites versus websites, t-shirts and posters?

    alert The fund can't be withdrawal from Epik.com via Masterbucks wallet

    For me, Epik was a pretty good source for domains. I sold a few through their marketplace but I definitely bought a lot more there than I sold/liquidated. I moved over 100 away from Epik during the "troubles" and today I think I still have around 10 left there that I've renewed with store...

    alert The fund can't be withdrawal from Epik.com via Masterbucks wallet

    The company information you pulled up is a website service that creates LLCs for you. So you're showing names for people at NorthwestRegisteredAgents.com or whatever their website is but that doesn't actually show who owns Epik, LLC. Looking up Epik on Wyoming's business page just shows the...

    information What Is Web3?

    Web2 or "Web 2.0" as I remember it being called, was also a wave a new and useful technology. Web1 was mostly static web pages or maybe comet cursors hijacking your mouse art. Midi music playing in the background. Web 2.0 was AJAX instead of basic Javascript which mean things like Google...

    various Report Completed Domain Name Sales Here

    Any idea WHY someone wanted this? I think this was an amazing sale but I wouldn't have considered registering that even with a .99 coupon. What am I missing? Again, nice sale for that extension.

    news NameBio Sold

    I read an article here: https://domaininvesting.com/namebio-sold/ I've got no affiliation with those guys. The article seems to say it was sold to someone already involved with the company so I don't know if we should be worried or not just yet. What do you guys think and has anyone else...

    various Report Completed Domain Name Sales Here

    Nice, Americus is a city in Georgia. Pretty small place but makes me feel better about owning Muncie in the same extension. :)
