Afternic New Landing page

Unpopular opinion: I think the new design looks like crap. The logo looks like an 8 yo cut-n-pasted it together. How about a modern lander with a modern design? Not a hard ask.

 

Been waiting for a BIN page forever. As soon as it arrives I'll be moving all of my domains to you.

 

The things is Godaddy is not known for any update, they are as archaic as Egyptian mummy's. so anything is better not that they have best design.

 

I don't feel as good as me

 

Back to old design. No BINS. No forms. No GD logos... nothing.
Or is it for me only ??

 

Atm, I'm seeing the same layout and content on that lander for that domain. With one minor difference: an additional local phone number for the Netherlands.

 

This happens in 2 cases as far as I know.

1) Nameservers are pointed correctly but you haven't added the domain into your Afternic account.
2) Nameservers are pointed correctly and the domain is added in your Afternic account but the domain is in Pending Sale which may convert into a sale or not.

 

You may be right . The domain is in "in-review" status in my AN account.

 

3- Name servers are pointed correctly and the domain is added in your Afternic account but the domain is "Pending Review"

 

There's also the 3rd option of being in review especially if you recently transferred the name to another registrar

 

But then it's still confusing that I buy a name from the aftermarket either at Sedo or at any of the fast transfer participating registrars like Dynadot, transfer it to my new registrar, add it to Afternic and it gets automatically added to fast transfer same day.

I thought there was supposed to be a 60 day lock when you change registrars/registrant details.

It's confusing because I have names that are listed for fast transfer but immediately I transfer it to say namecheap (due to a promo), I have to wait another 60days before being eligible for fast transfer.

 

It varies from registrar to registrar.

Dynadot does not impose that 60-day lock and hence they allow instant FT participation.

Namecheap, on the other hand claims to have the lock in place and hence does not send over the opt in emails before 60 days.

 

That is interesting. But I guess this only applies to Afternic FT? If you want to transfer a name away from Dynadot that has been there for less than 60 days, I think you cannot do that?

 

We can transfer if the registrar does not impose that lock. So if FT is getting activated, then we can even manually transfer out as the lock itself is not there in the first place.

 

so this is how looks like the new GD BIN landing.

Nice and clean, no upsells.

Opinions?

 

I guess testing is over. Got this email today.

 

That is good, but it seems GoDaddy will also soon offer us a BIN lander that seems quite different in design:

See handwrapper.com as an example.

So I wonder if that BIN lander is only for names listed directly via GoDaddy accounts or also names listed at Afternic?

 

Would love to see such a BIN lander as well. That's in fact the only reason I'm not currently changing NS to Afternic.

 

Is it just me or do all the new godaddy animations and graphics look like something out of the nineties.

 

I don't see any animations. But re graphics, I think the design is clean and very very 2021 I like its simplicity, not too much distraction. Only the BIN button is clickable (and the phone numbers).

ps: talking about the BIN lander example posted above.

 

I am talking more about this animation and I notice they are using similar type of animations and carrying that look into other products.

Just seems a bit old school to me.

 

looks excellent. so glad they're doing it on godaddy.com instead of afternic.com too

 

Aah. I don't see the animation you are seeing. I think you're still seeing a previous version of the lander. Perhaps you can make a screenshot and share it here?

It's not you, I don't like that animation either. It is very uncool. Anything with http or www in modern communication is a no-go.

 

Just mentioning the similarities in graphics used across the products, not very modern looking.

 

That animation shows up as a loading animation between pages
