question Jason Newby, GoDaddy, who is he?

[webtitan]

There is one domain that expired and than registered(or maybe was bought at auction) at GoDaddy by Jason Newby.
Domain of itself does not represent anything and has zero value.

I sent many emails to this man, but received no response.

The database of service Domaintools shows that this man own near 20,000 domains

Someone knows about him any information?
Or maybe he is on this forum?

He usually let's them expire and renews or transfers.

 

[Rado_Ch]

He does have social media profiles in most networks, maybe you can try and contact him there?

Correct. He lets many domains to expire and then watches the auctions for activity, before transferring them out. I once bought a $5 domain in the closeouts, and he then decided he would transfer it out. I've also caught a few domains he owned. It must be a major headache with 20k domains. That's an average of 50+ domains expiring, every day.

having software to manage a large portfolio of domains would make it easier, purchase date and price details, price sold domain for, DNS information, notes, I would prefer an application can run locally, opposed to a cloud based or hosted sotwares

@jiashua - You can have your very own, by building it with a spreadsheet.

I've won about 8-10 expiring auctions in the last couple of weeks where Jason Newby ended up renewing at the last minute. Who is this wealthy troll?

I think with godaddy you can do many things. Coupons, refusing to sell after the bid has ended, refusing to accept money (as seller), watching auctions and then deciding whether to renew it or not...

 

[tomcarl]

I've had Hundreds tied up with winning domains he owned, two times in $xxx actually, and yeah, he always transfers out at the very last second. Now when I see his name associated with a domain I don't even bother to buy or bid.

These were all dynadot auctions I was bidding on. I dont understand why registrars hold expiring auctions during the redemption period. Love how Name.com does their expiring. Instantly in your account when you hit buy now and pay.

I nolonger bid on any dns he owns, as he like's to get off by watching people bid on his dn's..only then to renew and transfer out.

Total waste of my time.

 

[Vinod R]

I have never come across him, prefer not to...

 

[tomcarl]

Can't blame these guys though, when you have tens of thousands of domains, who's in a rush to fork over renewal fees every single day?

 

[jideofor]

@FX, I just can't stop laughing. Truname I know those names as I bidded on few as well. Just as someone said above, I have decided to stop bidding on anything he owns. Even when I lost out on CarringtonPark.com I didn't feel bad cos I knew he would renew it.

Lmaooo... That moment when you think you being frustrated but not knowing you are not alone lol.

 

[Paully]

Doesn't smell right to me. Can anybody really see GoDaddy putting up with losing auction commission and renewal fees over and over?

 

[indiegrind]

He is becoming the Ralph Pootawn of domaining.

In a word. Yes. They are making heaps on their total auction sales.

Sounds like a TON of work and upkeep for portfolio that size!

Bro please check your in box.

Is there anyway of keeping track of domains he owns that are in redemption? I wasted way to much time this week winning expired actions , not knowing they where his and having him renew them
