Hey NamePros. Brady here, growth lead at Unstoppable Domains - a newly ICANN-accredited registrar and marketplace.

We're on a mission to modernize domaining by bringing domains onchain. We give you everything you want in a marketplace:

• 3% commissions
• At-cost registrations & renewals
• Direct negotiation, no brokers
• SedoMLS & Afternic integration

Plus, onchain superpowers you didn't know you needed:

• Access to new onchain buyers
• No transfer fees or lockups
• Settlement times in seconds, not weeks
• Eventually - lending and other decentralized finance tools

Come check us out. You'll never go back after experiencing faster, cheaper, and easier domaining onchain.

We'll use this thread to share announcements and get feedback from domainers like you. Drop me a line at [email protected] if you want to chat.

Cheers!

Brady

Your "dark theme" is eye-burning. Pure white #FFFFFF aka RGB 255 255 255 color should never be used as standard font color in dark themes; its typically colors in the #CCCCCC range and even lower for the normal text. And even if something needs to be highlighted (like warnings and alerts – NOT the permanent interface elements) – then even the highlight is usually no brighter than #EEEEEE.

Please fix that, because its a torture as it is.

Also, your RDAP output is missing the "registrant contact URI" entry; would be nice to have a contact form or a forwarding email address where us registrants could get contacted.

          [
            "contact-uri",
            {},
            "uri",
            "https://domains.markmonitor.com/whois/contact/unstoppabledomains.com"
          ],

This is not a “Standard“ anywhere. Y‘all are straight up lying to our face. Can you give me a genuine reason why you want to hold onto my money for over 10 days after a sale? ….. i have used different marketplaces for over 5 years and i have never experienced this ‘‘Standard“.

They have the option to hold on to payment up to 4 MONTHS?

That's RIDICULOUS!

Hi everyone,

After reading a thread by @MrBahCa about his experience with domaining and Unstoppable Domains, I decided to give it a try and signed up yesterday. I planned to register a few domains and possibly transfer some I already own to take advantage of the benefits offered by their Domainer Club.

After completing the questionnaires and identity checks, I received an email notifying me that I had been rejected from the Domainer Club. What a disappointment!

I think Unstoppable Domains should publish clear eligibility criteria for the Domainer Club (for example, owning 100+ domains) because the current process leaves too much room for subjectivity. Clear rules would also save time: we wouldn't need to fill out forms and go through checks only to be turned down.

Filtering by records: spaceship, works

Filtering by nameservers: spaceship, does not

Seems like UD prices are good until mid-March (at least they are advertising it as such)

 

[NameGroove]

Ahh, looks like Mar 9 is the date of the increase

It's a shame they seem to have trouble making up their minds on timeframes. It went from first week of March, to mid March, to 9 March (which is neither!)...
I've been assuming that the first week of March could be the first day of March. It would make planning easier if they had set the date in stone a few weeks ago.

So, after asking for KYC, even before buying a single domain, just to join their club, the next step is to ask screenshots with your domains. I'm using tens of registrars and not even one of them has asked for KYC, either sedo, afternic or dan( with who they like to compare) Ok, we can understand that they want to control who is using these discounts. But for what do you need screenshots and who knows what other stuff? I decided that I will not use them. Now, it's not the case that they need to earn our trust to transfer our domains to a new registrar, now a new registrar is asking for screenshots to trust the domainer to move a portofolio to them. I will make a bet, based on my 10 years experience and I will say that 90% of their 800k domains earned through these discounts will not get renewed and they will have a fraction of that in a couple of years. We will wait and see.

 

[NicTraders]

But for what do you need screenshots

I think they explain that pretty well from memory - they need proof that you have a decent number of domains to make it worthwhile admitting you to their domainer club. It's easy to show totals with most registrars while not needing to show all your domain names.

That's odd...I was thinking it's the other way around, being a new registrar, they need to prove it's worthwhile for me to spend time and trust them with hundreds-thosands of domains. The main issue is that who could use them are exactly people like me, who are hand regging daily, not people with premium domains, they have they preferred registrar and they will not transfer a domain they paid 1k or 10k to a new registrar, for a $3 discount. So they decided to make it harder for their target customers, that's perfect. Will talk in a few years.

Domainers with big portfolios saved thousands of $ whey transfered their domains for $5.5 for each domain , Instead to pay $10 or $11 or $12 to renew ! it is like 50% saving !

For sure some have trusted them, but we are talking about handreg value or so domains, you will not transfer expensive domains to a new registrar. So, if you are harassing domainers like me, who are hand regging daily, who is your target customer then? Also, from that huge portfolios, some domainers will drop up to 90%, so counting now that you habe 800k domains and counting in a year time, when a lot of them will drop, it's not the same.

IMO It is not called ''harassing'', Its their requirements and policy .
Be practical, right now we need them for their discounted prices and to save money , so better we to follow the requirements and get what we want , Then after one year things may change and other opportunities/offers may appear somewhere else .

And they were comparing them self's with dan, who replied in 15 minutes to an issue and did payouts in hours.
