Interesting - it looks like Dynadot will soon offer payment plans. At least it shows in the account menu, but if you try to list a name for sale at the marketplace, installments are still not an option.

Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Update: It has been implemented now. It is possible to offer installment plans of up to 12 months. Great news!

@Dynadot can you change the wording in 2fa invitation ("Please enter your Google code")? I am trying to be google-free As much as possible. And, I am not using Google Authenticator. There are a lot of opensource alternatives!

Thank you for the feedback, I've passed that on to our team to check if the wording can be changed for two-factor authentication.

I'm sorry, we don't have any active re-registration coupons, unfortunately. As our team run sales and promotions on a monthly basis, then April is likely the earliest that we might see a new re-registration promotion, unfortunately.

Dynadot you need to get rid of 15 day domain auction lock for domains under $100 for PRO accounts, especially ones who used aged funds to pay for the domains.

It's a great platform but so many little loopholes you have for PRO users that make it hard to use at times, your only hindering your own progress, and that of your clients at times.

 

[Dynadot]

Thank you for the feedback @wwwweb , our team are working on plans to reduce the auction lock period but at this time we don't have any specific information on what changes may be made, unfortunately. We'll post an update when we have more information on that.

Dynadot, can we please have some clarification on your slow order processing. I am consolidating registrars and decided to add Dynadot based on the user feedback in this forum. However, my experience with Dynadot thus far has been negative. New domain orders, new transfers and new prepayment orders are stuck in the processing status for many hours making Dynadot unusable. Support did address and complete one order but I am attempting to transfer several hundred names and do not have the time to be dealing with support so frequently.

Using prepayment funds does expedite the process but adding the funds takes a very long time. Are you waiting for batch settlement to credit the account? All other registrars I use process and credit payments immediately based on the authorization.

The standard response appears to be that you are aware of the issue and are working to correct it. It is not getting corrected though. If your approach is to wait for settlement before crediting accounts please disclose this so that customers who require immediate processing can look elsewhere.

It looks like we still cannot use this feature after all.

 

[alcy]

@Dynadot ok so someone tried push name to me..we made typo cause were human..but it was going to that other user..support fixed.it on time... are u saying u got zero protection against typo..and if other member accept push.. we.gotta beg him to return and u offer no help? that's a terrible push system if true...can u improve? ty

 

[Sutruk]

we made typo cause were human

You made a typo because you didn't do a simple copy-paste. Try to send money by paypal to the wrong email address and see what happens. Or push a domain to the wrong email address somewhere else and see what happens.
They already said it, before you do a domain push, check it very well, because once it's done, it's done.
If it was your mistake, it was your mistake, not Dynadot's mistake. But they already solved your mistake, so why they should improve for something you did it wrong?
Tip: Next time, check it twice, or three times, before you send or type your username or forum name to do a domain push, simple.

they should improve cause all other registrars do it better

simple non?

All other registrars also ask you for your username or your email to do a domain push. Dynadot ask you for your forum name, there's nothing different there.
But nobody will prevent you from entering your wrong email or username because you haven't done a simple copy-paste.

lol if u see no diff between dyna asking just simple name and others asking name plus email then just go back to yer own galaxy where they think like u.

Again, in case you struggle reading, almost all registrars out there ask you only for your email, or username, or in Dynadot's case, for your forum name, to do a domain push.
If you still don't get it, you can stay on your own galaxy and enjoy there.

I don't need to google nothing. I have done many pushes on many registrars and 100% just ask you for username or email address.
Next time, do not type your username, email or forum name, but instead do a COPY/PASTE so you won't make again a mess and send a typo when pushing a domain name.
You are welcome.

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with order processing, our team has been working hard to optimize the orders process and orders should be processing as normal currently. Some orders may be delayed if our system flags them for manual approval however, and this can be more likely for new accounts and prepayment orders. If you would like to PM us with your Dynadot username we can take a look at your account to check why recent orders may have been delayed.

When processing prepayment orders we add the funds to the account balance as soon as the payment has been received and the order processed, if the order doesn't require manual approval then the funds should be credited to your account within 1-2 minutes. There can still be some delays with all order types during peak periods however, such as around the .COM drop time or if we receive a very high volume of orders in a short period of time, but the changes our team has implemented should help to reduce the length and frequency of processing delays.
