I'd be interested in learning what registrars work with Afternic FT vs those that do not.
Afternic promotes to us that distribution via their FT partners gets us significantly more views than if we are in reg-path with non partners.
But this got me thinking, aren't there 3 types of partners?
Type 1: reg path >> name shown via FT partner >> domain fast transferred. Examples, PorkBun, Dynadot, Sav.
Type 2: reg path >> name shown via non FT partner >> domain is still shown to end user, but requires auth code to transfer. Examples?
Type 3: reg path >> Afternic names not shown. Example, Spaceship.
Am I understanding this correctly? If so - who are the registrars that are Type 2? Is there a list of Type 1 and 3 somewhere? If we can gather this list -we can identify market share and see if it really matters to be within Afternics Type 1 registrars. My guess is the bulk of the add'l views they promote really ultimately come from GoDaddy itself who controls ~50% market share.
