Hi,

Show attachment 295360

lookin' into it. Is anyone else seeing down landers anywhere else in the world? I checked from US/Can and seems to be okay.

EDIT: I had someone in Germany look into it as well and it shows up fine, What country is the VPN set to?

Not really at the moment, though we're working on getting more information into it. What specifically were you looking for, like the countries that visited?

The more, the better, but I actually wanted the search query people used to reach the domain.

 

[BrandingGo]

BTW, is there any way to disable the appraisal for a domain listing? It could confuse buyers since the value changes every day.

Look this is yesterday's appraisal

And today, the value is different.

I prefer a higher domain appraisal, but if it’s much lower than the Buy Now price, is it possible to hide the appraisal?

Thanks

Actually we do have that! On the marketplace settings here: https://www.dynadot.com/account/marketplace/my_settings/

We have this option to hide the appraisal or only show it when it's higher.

Wow, cool! Thanks a lot. It’s hard to find.

Could I please make a request @Dynadot @Caleb Tweed

I like your landers quite a bit, but there is one tiny thing that is a strong negative.

So near the bottom of the lander, just to the right of the payment options, is a link called More (I marked it in red).

Show attachment 295283

I had always assumed that was for more information about the payment methods you take. And if that is what it was it would be useful. But it isn't that, I discovered recently when I finally clicked on it.

It takes you to the Dynadot Marketplace. That by itself will trouble some, but much worse than that, in my opinion, it does not take you to similar names on the Dynadot Marketplace, or the best names, it just takes to some random names. I tried clicking it on one of my single-word .ca names, and this is what it took me to. I did not try to find a click that looked bad, this was the first click and it is representative.

Show attachment 295284

Now apologies to whoever owns these names, but most of those extensions don't have a single recorded public sale of $500 or more ever on NameBio. Almost never an alphanumeric, like many of these are. Your own, often somewhat generous appraisal instrument, does not appraise them at even $100! But the worse thing, really, they have nothing at all, zero, to do with the name the person was looking at. The More button takes you to listings that are unrelated to the lander name in every way!

Imagine if I was at Amazon, searching for say a new monitor. But it suggested as additional things I should look at some unrelated trinkets that have nothing to do with monitors, or even quality things that are unrelated. I am looking for a monitor, I don't want to see perfume!. Would that cause you to pause making a purchase at the marketolace, or at least be frustrated? What is the impression I would have of the marketplace and seller? You are doing serious damage to your reputation (and indirectly the sellers) through this link to random unrelated names from each lander.

We know that Dynadot is a quality company with superb people and offer great pricing, features, and service. You deservedly have been voted the number 1 registrar year after year here at NamePros (including my vote). Please, please, please make changing this an urgent priority. It would seem to me that the change is simple — just make the More button go away. (or make it about payment methods you support)

Thank you for considering this request.

-Bob

Hey Bob, this has been fixed!

 

[Bob Hawkes]

Hey Bob, this has been fixed!

What wonderful news. I just checked and indeed it goes now to a great run down of the payment options, not unrelated domain listings.

Thanks to you and Dynadot for always being so responsive to community suggestions, and being active here on NamePros.

Thank you,

Bob

Ah so that doesn't come into play as much anymore as all users get the same pricing (it looks like you're using the old API), but they're just Regular, Bulk, Super Bulk

 

[Caleb Tweed]

.COM Registrations are finally back on sale!

Use 899COM at checkout to get .COMs for $8.99. This sale is a bit different than our regular ones and comes with a few restrictions, please read this helpfile for more info:
https://www.dynadot.com/help/questi...tm_campaign=Newsletter+March+2026&drefid=5282

This is active now! No end date as there's a limited amount at this price and comes on a first come, first served basis, so make sure to grab 'em while you can!

@Caleb Tweed, now that Dynadot is using Above for parking, it seems when a name moves into expired status, those names run a chance of caught by spam blockers.

By showing ads, it can also lead to UDRP issues for the owner should he/she choose to renew. Any thoughts?

There's not much I have to say on this that I haven't already to be honest. It does look different than our previous landers, but we still had ads when we used other parking companies for our expired names.

We do display that the name is expired though, and as I mentioned before if an arbitration committee approached us regarding a UDRP case, we would confirm that the user is not displaying these ads.

Okay, I'll look back to posts in the Bodis days.

The ads are one thing but if zero click stuff is popping it makes it a little worse. Thanks for the fast response.
