It appears the domain industry has been starting to take notice of the .us namespace over the past year, read DnJournal.com .us growth and Namepros with even greater expectations for the year to come.

So I thought it would be a good idea to ask everyone to show us your .us domain names. You can post your favorites or your entire portfolio.

I was glad to win one of the names I was after, but then I received an email stating I'm the new winner for another auction since the first winner failed to pay. I voiced my concerns to Dynadot that I suspected the same person was involved with the auction I won, but I'm waiting to hear back. I'm surprised that they only take back a single bid and not the fake bidders entire group of bids. Anyway not wanting to pay $$$ for bogus bids and it makes me question the system / where I spend my money. Hopefully, I get a good answer and that's put to rest.

Had the same thing happen to me. Dynadot is one of my favorite registrars, but imo they need to rethink how they handle these situations.

one of the prospect countered offer my offer of 1245 witt 1000 and i sent back 1200
i am still not sure if i want to sell the domain or not, rejecting what could be my first sale also feels VERY guilty. i think he sensed my noobness and desperation cause i retracted 2 of my offers.

i also want to outrank .com version which is a big big brand and take over the keyword "digital marketing institute", fk up their branding on google and years of SEO success. :xf.grin:

ok, both offers are back and now ready to pay what i was asking for 1) €1,200 and 2) €1,100
current scenario is countered 1100 one offer with 2400 and 1200 one with whopping €4,000 lol.

if i lose this deal that be super duper stupid of me. its technically free money. 3 LLL are being sold under xxx and getting xxxx for this one seems seriously good offers.

@Team Hexonet did a very bad job with this. I had a BO and they did not alert me of the auction start time. Poor service!
I think they did because was in total 6 bidders . maybe not see email or what ever or even that they not sent a email should watch to see on Premiumsale i think this can be do by you and eventually send you a email to them.
Auction was a legit one and i am doubt that you will pay 1005 USD for Transport.us end auction
Most of all want cheap | Sorry not possible i am still here ( alive ) ..fight in a auction if you are a man a domainer or other
Fight for Retail.us is in acution right now 515 USD on DynaDot
And "After war a lot of warriors show up" is just a quote

I actually would’ve paid more. They simply did not send notification. This would have went nice with drive.us

I will not use Hexonet again.

Dear Keith,

thank you for your email. Yes our system got the domain transport.us. There were several applications for this backorder so you will get an email about the auction process https://wiki.hexonet.net/wiki/Backorder#Auctioning_of_multiple_backordered_domains .

Best regards,
Marco Bachmann

They never sent an email. Also, this email was 8 days after they caught the domain. Shitty platform.

I got the same email. The auction did not start on July 12, that was the day they caught it. In fact, it hadn’t even started on July 20 when they emailed. It started later that day. So yes, I was aware it was going to auction but when?

They stated in the email on July 20 that I would get a notification of the auction start time. That didn’t happen! Tired of platforms getting away with this bullshit.

It's been a while since I have made a post in this thread, I am glad to see that .US is now becoming so popular.

@Kieth , maybe the notification came from Premium Sale instead of Hexonet and perhaps you didn't notice it or that it might have been filtered as spam,

Things have changed a lot, I remember when GoDaddy had exclusive backorders for about $11 dollars on a first come first serve bases and who ever placed the backorder first was the one that got the domain when it was dropped.

I caught a lot of nice .US domains this way, but I couldn't keep up with the renewal charges for year after year and had to let many of them go. Also I came to the conclusion that it was better to keep a handful of premium domains rather than having to renew hundreds of average domains.

IMO

Yes notification come from PremiumSale where PS is the platform for private auction for names that are caught by 1Api.net where 1Api.net is part from Hexonet where users request backorders
Like on Snapnames - you request backorder there but is caught by udomain or what ever and if win the auction they moved names to your NetoworkSolutions account
Yeh agree to focus on premium names rather than less value names

As you can see from my post - Hexonet support emailed me on the 20th saying I’d get an email notification when the auction started. That didn’t happen.

Their auctions last 3 days so it started on the 20th sometime after support emailed me. Whois updated on July 23 which supports my position. This mistake falls on the company that holds the BO which is Hexonet. Their system is broken.
