DAN.COM (formerly known as Undeveloped.com) is on a path to be become the biggest domain marketplace in the world. We use state of the art technology to solve everyday problems buyers and sellers in the domain industry face. At DAN.COM we focus on automating most processes required to buy & sell domains to increase a more efficient and active secondary market for domains.

What sets us apart is our strong focus on product development and customer satisfaction. We leave nothing to chance and every single feature and element we introduce is professionally and carefully designed and built.

DAN.COM is ranked in the top 5 best-rated marketplaces in the world (According to the biggest review platform Trustpilot) and in the domain industry, we're the domain marketplace with the highest rating with an average of 9,4 out of 10 points.

At DAN.COM you will get the highest value for the lowest commission around. Due to our domain transfer automation, we can offer significantly faster handling of domain transactions and payouts (usually within 24 hours) at the lowest fee charged by any domain marketplace.

We've been the first on many fronts and proudly will continue to keep innovating. We were the first to offer optimized for sale pages since 2013, the first to provide payment plans in the form of lease to own and rentals and also the first and only domain marketplace offering free SSL on all domains parked with us for over a year now.

This thread is created to act as an informal communication board between the DAN team and the domain community. Feel free to post feedback here and to discuss how you use DAN.

Any insights as to which lander performs better, brandable or default? Also, isn't there supposed to be a chat widget on the landers?

thanks

Not yet. We don't have enough data yet to make a proper conclusion but plan to show the average conversion ratio, per theme we offer. We currently offer just 2 themes, but by December 2021 we'll probably offer 4-5 different themes tailored towards different portfolio needs.

In combination with the new Categories feature, you can then for example use a different theme with different settings per domain category list that you've created.

About the chat widget, we can only show that widget when you enable this setting:

Due to the pricing model of Intercom. They do not allow us to host that widget on multiple domains and so we cannot use it on externally parked names.

Intercom (chat) is banned by popular adblockers.
It was reported many times for years in their threads and LiveChat.
Hi Jurgen, it was actually my fault. I overlooked a setting in the account page.

No problems.
I'm talking from the visitor's side.

The least we want to do is to give you that feeling. That's why we mentioned that we might have different communication styles. Which is fine. All human beings are luckily different but we simply do not level or agree on all fronts.

so do you agree, that proper German is a must-have?

I noticed that the default sorting display in viewing someone's portfolio is 'Relevance' which is basically displaying domains by length, short - long first, with my names anyway.

Wondering if this can be changed to display Popularity / Most visited domains by default instead, if not, I think it might be a good customizable setting to implement in the future.

I'd like my buyers / leads to see what's getting the most traffic at first glance when they click on "Show more domains" because not everyone's shorter domains make sense to the common buyer and have targeted endusers vs. what's attracting more clicks.

Something to consider.

Recently since the new version of dan 2.0 , i start receiving traffic from domains i deleted it long time ago from my portfolio . ( could be bot traffic or any )
in google analytics showing like below image without domain names , but when i am digging to check the hostname i found out thay are domains that deleted from long time .

If i delete any domain from portfolio , it should not appear any type of traffic in google analytics even if the new owner didnt change the nameserver and the dan TXT record still exist .
but this issue wasnt before , but i recognize happening only recently with the new version of DAN 2.0 .

Please do the needful to find solutions for such issues .

It's possible that there are still cached or archived versions of your website landers available on the web. These versions may still include your custom Google Analytics code, and you may see visitors in Google Analytics while they don't actually visit a Dan hosted property. Lots of crawlers and bots, too.

If this is indeed the case, then Dan 1.0, 2.0 and even 3.0 can't do anything about it, it's beyond their control. All websites using Google Analytics, Adsense, or any other comparable code have to deal with these archived and cached versions.

I would not worry about it too much, as long as you're sure the domains have been properly removed from your Dan account.

In your portfolio, you can change the currency on a domain basis. However, we, unfortunately, do not support CAD yet but do offer USD, EUR, GBP as currency options.
I think the currency icon should be autoselected based on the default currency selected under portfolio settings. Having to manually click USD again is a bit tedious and it makes my portfolio view look like this at times :xf.confused:

Is it only me or the dan.com appears to be down?

EDIT: I've checked from multiple locations, so it's not a specific country problem.

Down here, too. None of my domains that are parked there will load.

All green for me. Dubai as well. Try clearing your cache.
Yes. Up and running now. And seems faster than before. Was this as a result of upgrade? Then Dan should have informed us in advance.

@LaszloSchenk
I didn't receive any reply yesterday (Sunday).
I have received it just today (~15 minutes prior this post).

I use their LiveChat regularly to inform about BUGs and for suggestions...
This is not your problem.

And there was stated yesterday: reply under 10 minutes - but no any reply actually.

My expectations are not high, they fix issues/bugs for days in the best scenario, some features they implement even for years...

I just posted here about the misleading statement like reply under 10 minutes - it must be removed definitely when no any agents in their LiveChat.

From what I see, visitors on landers - also don't receive any replies on weekends in their LiveChat...
And again.
For those, who quote only what they use for their trolling.

1) to have EUR and € next to each other
is so stupid

( EUR €209 )
jesus.
why don't you ask a german consultant?

- should show 209 € -

2) "Zahlen Sie jetzt den vollen EUR "
I couldn't have thought of a worse sales pitch in my lifetime

at least it should show "die vollen EUR"
which is horrible to ask for " the full amount"

3) either use EUR or €
it is the same thing

4) two times "oder" in a sentence divided by commas is bad german

so the way to display that sentence should be
"zahlen Sie jetzt 2.500 €, wählen Sie Leasingkauf, oder unterbreiten Sie einen Preisvorschlag "

5) and again and again: there is no way to estimated the german VAT
that is the most exact number you could ever imagine


bad german is the most embarrassing issue
for a landing page

you f*ck up the most important part of the landing page
tested?
no way



any germans here to comment?

I totally agree with frank. I am native german too and the text translations need an upgrade to the correct german grammar. This is very necessary because it could scare some german buyers away as it looks a bit scamy and unserious with that texts/translations.

I tried reading the thread, but I either missed the answer or it wasn't there, but:

Has Dan gotten rid of standard Installment Payments and replaced it with Lease to Own?

I remember them "adding" Lease to Own early last year to the existing Installment Plan, but I cannot seem to find any way to enable Installments... has this option been deleted in Dan 2.0 or I am missing a setting?

And before anyone chimes in, these are two very different payment methods, in terms of cost, implementation, potential for brand damage, etc..

Yes, one of the previous three options seems to be gone.

In Dan 1.0 this was referred to as the "old model", I believe.

Wow, more bad news, as I previously used Installment Payments, but was quite surprised to see "Lease to Own" plastered all over my listings, all without any notice of the changes.

Dan really needs to think about the repercussions of their beta testing in production, as I had no idea my Installments were now Lease to Own and there was no email or notification for this rather drastic change.
