DAN.COM Domain Marketplace (Official Thread)

[DAN.COM]

DAN.COM (formerly known as Undeveloped.com) is on a path to be become the biggest domain marketplace in the world. We use state of the art technology to solve everyday problems buyers and sellers in the domain industry face. At DAN.COM we focus on automating most processes required to buy & sell domains to increase a more efficient and active secondary market for domains.

What sets us apart is our strong focus on product development and customer satisfaction. We leave nothing to chance and every single feature and element we introduce is professionally and carefully designed and built.

DAN.COM is ranked in the top 5 best-rated marketplaces in the world (According to the biggest review platform Trustpilot) and in the domain industry, we're the domain marketplace with the highest rating with an average of 9,4 out of 10 points.

At DAN.COM you will get the highest value for the lowest commission around. Due to our domain transfer automation, we can offer significantly faster handling of domain transactions and payouts (usually within 24 hours) at the lowest fee charged by any domain marketplace.

We've been the first on many fronts and proudly will continue to keep innovating. We were the first to offer optimized for sale pages since 2013, the first to provide payment plans in the form of lease to own and rentals and also the first and only domain marketplace offering free SSL on all domains parked with us for over a year now.

There has to be some level of protection, otherwise the social-engineering scammers will just run rampant, and suddenly people will be complaining that a CSR let all their newly-purchased expired domains go to a Nigerian warlord, who then proceeded to transfer them all over the world and back.

The reality of a "no 60-day hold" world would be a very dark one indeed.

From my past experience, NS verification method doesn't work properly for some TLDs.
Probably, TXT is more reliable option.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I seem to be attracting deadbeat hobos like flies, and I am just wondering a) how long until DAN cancels a transaction for non-payment and b) how can the seller request a cancellation.

I ask because on other venues, if the seller doesn't request it, the unpaid transaction can just sit there forever.

Thanks.

On Sedo 6 days are allowed for payment.
Then you may ask your transfer manager to cancel it.

I did the same on DAN many times as well.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

What about newly registered domains? That's more important than all the other conditions.

Donuts domains can be transferred at any time.
No any locks there.

Curious with which TLDs you were experiencing this. I can imagine that there are some special TLDs that don't allow a third nameserver to be added (delegated to). What I would try for proving ownership in that unusual case, is temporarily leaving out ns2.dan.com, and just use ns1.dan.com + the *.dan.hosting verification nameserver. Then, after successful verification, change it to ns1.dan.com and ns2.dan.com only. I guess that should work, but haven't tried this.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

It was on DAN side.
Were no any issues to add 3rd nameserver there.

What TLD?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

What TLD?

It was at least for .TOP domains, what I recall easily without review of LiveChat archive.
Zero effect from 3rd NS.

How/where can I get the TXT code for domain ownership verification?
Someone listed my domains on DAN with BIN far less than my asking price. I submitted the domains to be added to my portfolio, but were rejected.

Thanks, @Jurgen Wolf
I got it.
I'll suggest DAN moves/duplicates this vital info to the portfolio page, at the bottom. This is logical, because I can see nameservers, blockchain ID on that page and can't understand why TXT code should be a hide and seek game on an obscure page.

 

[DomainRecap]

The TXT verification works fine (I just processed 3 last night) and if it doesn't get through the first time, submit it the next day, as the DAN servers might have been working with old/unrefreshed DNS data the first time. If DAN doesn't find the TXT file when you first submit the domains, the request seems to disappear.

That happened to me recently, and I just resubmitted the 1 missing domain the next day, and it was added almost immediately.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Does DAN 2.0 support the internal balance and withdrawal of custom amount?

For protection, a 7-15 days lock + login email/sms notifications should be more than enough to get an order to prevent this kind of transferring. Not a ridiculously long 60 days/2 whole months which is explicitly designed to prevent domainers from making money.

Good morning @Josytal,

Thank you for your feedback.

I will make sure to relay it to our product team.

Good morning DomainRecap,

That is correct. You would have to combine our nameservers with the nameserver verification or the A-record parking with the TXT verification and give it roughly 24 hours to have the domains automatically move over to your portfolio. However, you do need to make sure to have the automated verification checker box checked in the ownership verification section of your general settings.

If anyone does experience any issues with the automated ownership verification after implementing these steps it would be great to contact our support desk. We will be able to investigate and resolve the issue.

Have a great day!

Hi @Jurgen Wolf,

We do not have this incorporated yet.

Have a great day.

I think that's too short but 30-days might be a good compromise between security and flexibility.

Hi,

I noticed today that if I go to my domain name pointed at Dan nameservers, my anti-virus Bitdefender treats the webpage as a threat.

Why are DAN nameservers listed as a threat with Bitdefender?

Good morning @dustbin-beaver,

Thank you for notifying us.

Which domain is involved? I will make sure to look into it as this often happens when a domain was marked by an anti-virus provider in the past.

I look forward to hearing from you.
