Dan.com - Problem with landing pages

[Kostas]

I have my portfolio at Dan.com and today I noticed that landing pages do not work properly.

The problem is apparent the first time you visit a new domain. It just won't load.

I have tried this over several iphones, browser safari and brave, different IPs (Greece)
The same happens on Mac but not on Windows or Android from my tests.

After 2-3 tries of waiting 5-10seconds, the domain will load and after that it continuous to load without problem for several minutes.

To demonstrate, pick any domain from your dan portfolio that you haven't visited recently (within the day) and try to load it on an iphone. I hope it works for you and the problem is only local. I have contacted Dan and they will investigate.

I understand this is very weird but it is what's happening, most probably a problem with the SSL certificates (the message I get on some browsers is "can not establish a secure connection"). Why it works after you try 2-3 times to visit the domain I don't know.

Thanks for chiming in, @DAN.COM - the platform, from an end-user perspective, is not running normally.

Everyone's experience seem to carry the same symptoms and it's not dependent on the particular OS, browser, or internet provider.

@GoDaddy it's time to create a redirect from dan.com domain to godaddy.com as it was with Uniregistry.com

Uniregistry.com was the best registrar ever I mean user friendly and usability.

Frank Schilling should not sell it. Jmho

The whole corporate package is whack today...I can't get nameservers to change at Godaddy...they want me to call.

Between the afternic change, the auction changes, the dan slow/no loading and now the inability to change nameservers is too much...it;s making my sphincters (all 50 of them) slam shut.

ADD: looks like there are significant server attacks happening in US, Austria...

@DAN.COM - When attempting a secure connection, via the command:

openssl s_client -servername domain.com -connect 3.64.163.50:443 < /dev/null | openssl x509 -text

this error comes up:

error:0909006C:PEM routines:get_name:no start line:crypto/pem/pem_lib.c:745:Expecting: TRUSTED CERTIFICATE

There are plenty of resources on the "error:0909006C" part you might want to consult.

I believe @DAN.COM has eliminated the issue without being specific as to what it took to fix it.

At a minimum, SSL requests don't seem to get blocked and they don't return errors. Keep your fingers crossed!

 

[DAN.COM]

Good evening everyone,
First of all, thank you for sharing your experiences. We've worked to identify the issue, which originated with our back-end rules. This has been resolved today, and we're continuing to monitor things very closely.

Best regards,
Dan.com

I tried parking a domain with Dan and it shows this. I hope these parking pages get fixed soon.

It takes at least 30 minutes for the SSL to propagate, in 24 hours any http requests will forward to https.

I can confirm that each "first" visit on https produces delays and errors. That's DAN's problem. It seems like a certificate is instantly created, or otherwise not immediately available. Once it has been created/made available, the TLS problems disappear. To test this, you certainly have to pick a different domain every single time...

(@DomainNature's domain below)

$ openssl s_client -servername altetra.com -connect 3.64.163.50:443 < /dev/null | openssl x509 -text

Spot on... They're using (used to use) on demand SSL creation... Like I do... But I do it better

 

[Mister Funsky]

Is it just me or have the communication boxes been disabled at Dan?

I can send a counter offer, in numerals only, but there is no way for me to include any form of sales pitch or even discuss finance/lease possibilities.

ADD: meant to post this in official thread

Seems like this bug is still not fixed, I really thought that it was my registrar fault at first, but it's clearly dan's ssl certificates issue, huge turn off for me, time to say goodbye to their landers

 

[Acroplex]

No, it hasn't been fixed. And there is no response by Undeveloped on Twitter but they had 2 "public holidays" this week.

As a result of the continued "not secure" messages showing up intermittently on the Afternic Dan Landers, currently I'm testing Dynadot landers as an alternative. So far, they seem to be performing well, with no security issues noted.

 

[Coindoji]

pathetic, experiencing the same issue for weeks
they went downhill quickly... from the best platform to the worst.

Well, supposedly Dan was working on the issue as a priority. Any progress there?

For now, for me, landers showing up without any warning messages or SSL issues include Dynadot, Atom.com, and Bodis.com. Efty.com and NP landers seemed to perform well, on a check a while back.

Dan's landers are very nice in appearance and offer some nice options, including LTO. Hopefully, any ongoing technical issues with them will be fixed soon.
