Afternic - Official Thread

[GoDaddy]

Hello NamePros!
By popular demand, we have launched a dedicated feedback thread for Afternic, the GoDaddy-owned domain name marketplace.

We have created this thread as a way for you to tell us what works, what doesn't work, and what features you'd like to see at Afternic (please be constructive with your feedback). We're looking forward to hearing from the domain investment community to help us shape the future of Afternic.

We will also be sharing Afternic product updates in this thread.

Please note that this thread is not meant for support. Please email our support team at [email protected] for assistance.

The fact that I can take this screenshot without any rush pretty much speaks for itself.

Good luck with whatever innovations you still think are in the pipeline.

Yes I want that hidden and the 'Good as Gold' Ad.
These things are not 'needs attention'.

If I wanted LTO on all my domains I would have done that already.
Also there are reasons for not using Afternic NS on all domains etc

Hey @GoDaddy why do the afternic transfer agents wait 2 days for every single reply? It's like your employees don't want the sales to go through if they don't get commission

Interesting, thanks for the lead.

@Afternic / @GoDaddy,

Can you explain in very practical terms what this service offers?

You're using insider information to help sellers—how exactly?

Is there any cost or financial gain involved, or is it simply free advice?

Thank you in advance for your transparent, detailed response.

Are there any large portfolio owners here who share Tony's perception ("the usual unknown Afternic Issue")?

Tony @TonyNames July 2, 2026

I missed the 100k mark in June by a few grands, but it would have been another stellar month if not for the usual unknown Afternic Issue

The unknown afternic issue happens from time to time and back in the day I would smell it and switch landers to DAN.

Can’t even do that now…

Just so you are aware. The "Start Buying" on Afternic home page no longer takes you to the Godaddy search. Doesn't do anything.

One would think that if they have a seller team sitting there ready to roll, maybe they could take a little read through this thread and reach out to all their existing sellers who have issues with leads not being followed up.

Update. Gidaddy/Afternic responded quickly and resolved the problem within a few hours after posting.

Introducing GoDaddy Search Insights on Afternic! Domain Pro members can now see filtered, exact-match search data from the world’s largest registrar - right in their Afternic portfolio.

What is GoDaddy Search Insights?
It’s real buyer-demand data for your domains. No noise - just genuine, human-driven, exact domain searches from GoDaddy.

For a deeper dive, along with an explainer on how to connect your Discount Domain Club membership head to Afternic, head to our blog: https://blog.afternic.com/godaddy-search-insights/

I'm still not clear on the distinction between these three data points:

• Views
• Total searches
• Unique searches

Could you please clarify, in simple terms, exactly what each one refers to?

Thanks in advance.

Would you trust an agent to manage your Afternic portfolio for you? It seems they don't even trust it for a portfolio with more than 500 names.

All enhancements are welcome, but what I would really like is API access to my portfolio.

Trust in the tool begins with trust in the craftsman.

Based on how things have gone before, when Afternic wasn't even using AI yet, I wouldn't trust AI involvement anywhere near my domains inside the Afternic interface right now.

It's kind of amusing how everything has to be branded AI these days, even when the underlying work is nothing more than the same old database operations we used to run without any marketing glitter.

Maybe good for share price.

And ironically it's those with over 500 domains in their portfolio who are going to be the ones wanting more tools to assist with managing their portfolio, not those with less.
