Politics. Dan is European.

If that's all it is, they can just move their servers to the U.S.

 

[Garet]

We're making progress with moving much of the technology from Dan.com to Afternic,

Yes, integration of technology from superior platforms, general technical enhancements, bug elimination, and features like bulk search are all progressing smoothly, seamlessly, and rapidly as one would expect from GoDaddy.

No, I meant office politics and power struggles.

I don't know what to say to you guys. If you've ever worked in a multinational company, the politics aspect of this should be obvious.

Actually I have. The company that acquires the other company has all the power and calls all the shots.

And here the Afternic team has all the power vs Dan, because as Americans they have much closer relationship with GoDaddy team(s).

[wacky]

My personal guess is that it will eventually merge into one "dan"...

One GoDaddy, not Dan. Unfortunately.

What will happen if Dan's staff silently create another version of Dan (and better) so they can launch after GD shut them down?

you mean the smart guys that still did not replace the correct VAT percentages at the german version of their landing page after me telling them for maybe 100 years ?
