I am not using Boost or Afternic nameservers. Is that a requirement to be listed anywhere in the search results? If so, the policy should be clearly stated.

I can answer this for you. After no one saw benefits from Boost and it was failure, they removed all Afternic listings without boost from the suggestions, except for exact matches including TLD

I can't confirm that for my .com domains. Even when I search keywords separated by a space and no TLD, my .com domains show prominently in the GoDaddy.com registration path (with "United States" and "USD" set in the footer, and browser preferred language en-US). I'm not using Boost.

It can be different in other locales like godaddy.ca. @Bob Hawkes tried recently and noticed differences between godaddy.com and godaddy.ca.

You're right, Google US is the exception. For all other GEOs non-boost domains are suppressed from suggestions

I think @GoDaddy is already looking into this, based on @Bob Hawkes' report.

Godaddy - Yikes! Something went wrong. Please, try again later. - instead of 2-step verification page. Unable to get into my Godaddy account.

Does anyone have the same issue ?

Nope, I can see my .com domains when I search for exact name but without the .com, and I live in Sweden.

@Afternic @GoDaddy

I setup LTO for a domain with .st extension, But lander keep showing BIN only !!
is the LTO option resolving only for specific tlds ?

GoDaddy doesn’t support (sell) .st domains, so I’m surprised that you can use other than Request Price lander.

(does that ”Next” just lead to an error message?)

The domain normally listed on afternic since weeks, And LTO enabled normally but not resolving on lander !!

But for me it is showing bin normally on lander , my concern is the LTO to be active .
I think their lists not updated .

 

[campout]

For some reason, Afternic doesn't allow LTOs on several ccTLDs including:

• .gg
• .us

GoDaddy must have fixed something as I'm suddenly getting offers again.

If you are boosted, I read lately someone said it improved the results on search .

@GoDaddy or anybody, think I’ve been reading something wrong

Let’s say
I hand reg a domain at Godaddy
Immediately after I use Afternic nameservers, pick a buy now price, lease to own

So is it immediately available to buy or lease on direct type or however they get there

Fast transfer is what takes 60 days to activate?

I typed the domain into dynadot and it was available to purchase. Didn’t think it would show until after 60 days. So if it’s available to buy, it’s not fast transfer but manual?
———
Also, most of the domains I buy are at auction and go to a registrar that I don’t generally use and I transfer out as soon as I can to the registrar I normally use and then I’ve been waiting 60 days before using Afternic nameservers. So all this time I could have used the Afternic nameservers after sending them to my normal registrar, it’s just 60 days for fast transfer to activate?

As i know it will show on results normally on day one of listing , And if purchased before the 60 days, Yes the transfer will be manual push internally .
