Hahahaha cashed out after Clubhouse promos

In all seriousness, another Vertical acquisition

Went Horizontal (Uniregistry, direct competitor)
Vertical (Neustar, indirect Registry)and now the MMX Registry best known .club. ,design etc. .Club squeezed havin same name “Clubhouse”

This means your domain can be less suggested on GD search result in the future. Prepare your mind, keyboard and mouse...

Good acquisition... For them . Not a fan of mmX extensions but owning them fits the long game GD is playing.

They probably won't, but it'd be cool if they bring down pricing significantly.

“Upon close of the acquisitions, GoDaddy Registry will own, manage or operate more than 240 top-level domain extensions, with more than 14 million domain names under management.”
Had not expected this move by GD. Wonder if they will bid in the Uni extension auctions this month. Club must have gone for a lot - not disclosed yet,

Thanks for posting story, @SNJV .

Yes, that's a USP of GD

I bet Godaddy will take over .com from Verisign

Sooo: What will this mean for Porkbun, ‘a Top Level Design company’*?

*’Top Level Design LLC ... the proud registry for the .design ... TLD. We also provide registrar services through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Porkbun LLC.’

GD is loot company, their USP is to loot customers money by using silly bad tactics and malpractices. If ( .com) takeover by GD then I will stop investing in domain

Mostly a pitiful bunch of NGTLD's. They are probably happy to be relieved of this burden.

I knew that .design and Porkbun had a relationship, but did not realize Porkbun were subsidiary - would have assumed it other way around.

Porkbun is a well liked registrar with smooth operation and great prices. I hope there are no changes coming. Tagging a rep at Porkbun for confirmation of situation. @SlackJawedYokel

probably realize their their standard business model is failing due to their shenanigans.

personally, i think its awful for everybody that godaddy is doing this and controls so much. godaddys reputation is nonexistent nowadays
