[Acroplex]

The Uni Market will stop working on April 18th and an email detailing the transition process to Afternic was sent out. Here are the details.

a DNS account

DomainNameSales.com it is Uniregistry?

 

[Acroplex]

DNS is the original platform used by Frank Schilling, which he opened up to the public in 2012, before rolling out the Uniregistry Market. It's still open for those that had access back in the day and it presents a different environment to the Uni Market portfolio manager.

Month ago I wanted to create an account in Uniregistry, but as they moved to GoDaddy, I created a GoDaddy account. After it I cannot sell on Uniregistry.

Did you go to the alter ?

I think @Acroplex mentioned above it will stop sometime in May.

The transition began a year ago, small accounts of little "domainer" value were already moved to GoDaddy. I believe that by the end of May it will happen again, this time for everyone. While I have lots of domains still at Uni, there will be no benefits from the GoDaddy move - certainly not discount pricing! If you have any domains expiring in the next 60-90 day's it'd be a good idea to transfer them as there is no guarantee the transfer to GD won't impose a 60 day lock.

That does sound like something GD would do, too.

I just initiated the transfer from uni to a new registrar.

Uniregistry and Frank changed the game for the average domainer 10+ years ago. He empowered me and introduced a powerful new weapon for domain sales. I will forever be grateful.

How nice to negotiate with a buyer and if unsuccessful, then pass on the lead to pros.

Godaddy will change all that in a few weeks.

I will change along because I enjoy dealing with buyers and have charted my own course.

Thanks Frank.
