Hi all

Has anyone experienced a domain purchased through a GoDaddy expired auction not resolving correctly for an extended period?

I acquired CoffeeCash.com via GoDaddy Auctions around a month ago. Since taking ownership, the domain has never resolved properly despite multiple nameserver changes and extensive troubleshooting.

I have contacted GD support on several occasions regarding the issue, but it remains unresolved.

A few details:

• Domain is managed within my GoDaddy account.
• I’ve tested both Atom and Afternic nameservers (not working)
• Other domains in the same account are working normally.
• Resolution behaviour has been inconsistent across different devices and networks.
• GoDaddy support recently advised that the domain had been “reconciled” and later escalated the issue to their advanced team.
• My GoDaddy account shows the domain using Atom nameservers (ns1.atom.com / ns2.atom.com).
• However, public WHOIS continues to show the Name-Services nameservers.

What makes this particularly strange is that the nameservers shown in my GoDaddy account do not appear to match what is being published externally.
I’m curious whether anyone else has experienced something similar with an expired-auction acquisition, particularly involving nameserver updates, registrar synchronization issues, or domains appearing to be stuck between systems.

Any insight or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

You know, this might be a crazy question, but are you sure that's the domain name? Are you copy and pasting it? Every so often, someone (definitely not me) might accidentally misread a domain name and that someone (definitely not me) might end up winning the wrong domain name. Since, as Brad says, none of the facts make any sense, it seems plausible you might have won... CoffeeeCash.com or CoffeeCäsh.com or something similar?

That timeline matches closely.

Basically the domain would have expired 4/9. It would have gone to auction around a month later and ended in mid May.

It's also registered at GoDaddy.

@Savage Names welcome to the club! I think most of us must have done this at least once.

Yeah, it would also be somewhat easy to do in this case since upper case "FFE" vs "FFEE" kind of look similar.

Yep, it happens.

CoffeCash.com is a typo.

I am sure everyone in the domain field for a period of time has done it.

I bought a domain from someone one time, and when they pushed the domain we both realized it was a typo, that they had held for 15+ years.
