Unstoppable Domains Official Thread

[UnstoppableBrady]

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

• 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

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

What is your Problem? Use them or leave it.

You may send them ONE screenshot of a marketplace with aggregated numbers of your domain ownership. Like Atom Dashboard, worked for me.

I've just said I don't trust them, so I won't use them. So, it's a thread to discuss issues about them, good or bad. So, if I say a truth, what dan was doing and they said something like "we are on pair with dan', and I point out that dan was closing a deal in hours and they take up to 10 days for a payout, it hurts, isn't it? We are not even talking about replying tovan email in days. I point out what issues I have, everybody can do whatever they want.

Today we're releasing free backorders for .com and .net at @unstoppableweb

Backorders are a key part of any serious domainers' strategy.

I recently spoke to a domainer with 500,000+ live backorders across multiple platforms. That high-volume approach only works when you keep costs low - and that's exactly the kind of use case we're targeting with our system

A few things to know:

Backorders are priced at our registration rates. So for .com, just $5.99 for Domainer Club and $7.99 otherwise, until our prices increase March 9 (see my pinned tweet)

We only have a few registrar licenses, so our backorders are not going to be competitive with the Dropcatches and Gnames of the world. Where we shine is on convenience and price.

Like other platforms, we place a refundable hold on your account balance to place a backorder, which is released if we don't catch the name. Standard members need to pre-pay registration costs to account balance to cover any holds. But - Domainer Club has it easier

DC members get up to $500 in overdraft, meaning you can place back orders without an account balance and pay it back within 7 days of a successful catch.

You can place backorders on any pending delete domain via regular search, CSV bulk search, and in a new 'Expireds' tab in our marketplace, which lets you search and sort through pending deletes with added stats like bid and watchlist count. You can manage your existing backorders in our backorders page. Try it here: https://unstoppabledomains.com/marketplace/expireds

We don't yet run auctions for contested back orders — when multiple users backorder the same domain, the winner is currently random. Auctions are coming soon.

Note that to prevent overloading our systems, there's a new registration surge fee of $3.99 for orders placed on freshly dropped domains during that day's drop window (2–4 PM ET). You can avoid it entirely by getting your back orders in before 2 PM.

This is day one. We're building the most domainer-friendly registrar on the planet and backorders are a huge piece of that.

There's so much more coming soon - Our API, MCP server, reseller API, expired auctions, and more. Stay tuned and let me know what you think.

From reading through this thread, it honestly looks like quite a few people are experiencing different kinds of issues payouts delays, KYC requirements, unclear timelines, and changing policies etc while Discounted transfers and registrations are definitely attractive, especially for large portfolios where the savings can add up quickly. But stability, clear communication, and trust are equally important factors when choosing a registrar. For many domain investors, especially those managing large portfolios, consistency and reliability often matter more than saving a few dollars per domain and it will be interesting to see how things develop over time as more domainers test the platform and share their experiences.

At least they communicate. Try getting a response from SAV in their thread.

Some UI bugs faced recently, but they are fixing them fast.

Glad to hear that they are fixing things fast

Just to clarify — payouts haven’t been an issue for me. No “Epik domains situation” here — NO MONSTERS!

After they let me know about the account situation, they posted that auth codes will not be given if an account is in deficit. So if there’s any balance owed on a backorder or the account overall, domains can’t be transferred until it’s cleared. Once that was clarified, they sent the auth code and everything went smoothly.Now there posting the stipulation.

I was paid instantly on a five-figure sale about two weeks ago, so from my experience the payout side is working perfectly.

Support can be a little… sloth-ish at times, taking a bit longer to respond, but they do get the job done and are helpful when needed.

Overall, they’re a solid company that’s still evolving. Unstoppable is clearly trying to build something here, the managers have been helpful in the past, Rosener is a meaningful partner, and Brady steering the ship doesn’t hurt either — great guy.

Thanks for sharing your experience & Its good to hear a positive payout example as well. Hopefully as the platform matures response times and overall processes will continue improving for everyone.

Thank you for clarifying as it helps

Did you sell a Web2 name via their marketplace (inbound)? I haven't heard of many sales going through it... just wondering if it is picking up steam

Did you sell a Web2 name via their marketplace (inbound)? I haven't heard of many sales going through it... just wondering if it is picking up steam

Most of my domains sell to people actively searching for them—type-ins—rather than casual browsers. GoDaddy and Sedo are really the only marketplaces where buyers can discover domains, with Atom seeing some traffic too.


So why should I pay more than a 3% fee? On a $10,000 domain, that’s $300 lost, leaving me $9,700, while the buyer would only pay a few extra hundred dollars if they use a credit card instead of a wire. That seems fair for both sides. Best thing to do is put a very high price on afternic without redirecting nameservers and then make offer on the godaddy site if someone bids and starts getting action you can change nameservers al nong as its not paid, if someone buys the bin at afternic its 30% commission but your getting so much more for the domain so who cares

On a $10,000 domain, that’s $300 lost, leaving $9,700, while the buyer only pays a little extra with a credit card. Listing is simple as hell: set a high price on Afternic without redirecting nameservers, then use GoDaddy’s “Make an Offer” option. If someone bids, update the nameservers before the sale closes. Even with Afternic’s 30% BIN commission, the higher sale price usually more than covers it.

I appreciate hearing how you go about listing, but unsure that answered the original question. I haven't taken the time to list on UD because I don't believe they get much traffic. yet you said you had a "five-figure sale about two weeks ago" on UD. Just wondering if this is a one-off or a common occurrence. If you're selling names there, it may be worth my time to manage another site (in addition to Afternic, Sedo, Atom, SellerHub, and Dynadot).

They compare themselves with anything tbh but they are way worse. Few days ago that brady guy was complaining about filling a W9 form but this company forces you to do a KYC. That’s not very “decentralized/web3“ of them. I made a sale and i wasnt even notified of the sale. No email, no word from them. I noticed from my account dashboard when i wanted to withdraw proceeds from my last sale.

I hope the “Instantly“ was just you trying to be funny…haha. That was a good one. But if not, How come you were paid instantly but i have to wait for minimum of 10 days before i can ask the “Lords“ at unstoppable domains to please take a pity on this peasant that didnt have a five figure sale and pay him his money only to be told to chill for another 3-4 days?

It's very hard to discern between a genuine and "genuine' review about them these days, because a lot of pros and ex pros from namepros have invested money in them, so now they push everything as standard for this industry, just to suit them. At dan, I had 17 hours average time to payout, so from a revolutionary web3 platform I would expect a couple of hours even minutes, not 3-4-10 days. Also, at dan you were waiting 15 minutes for a reply during office hours, so I would expect at least the same or even instantly, not 3-4 days. Also, some of the pros who invested in them, a few years ago have disconsidered the domainers doing hand regs, now they invest money in a company targeting exactly the same domainers. For now, they are just an afternic reloaded in bad weather, with payout times and customer service, even afternic and sedo have days when they pay in one day. They brag about the $3 discount, but they don't seem pros enough to remember the times from a few years ago, when domain.com, netfirms, dotster, networksolutions, and a few others were doing unlimited $0,37, $0,99, $1 and so on for coms, without being forced to join an exclusive club, without KYC and without arrogance. Even today you can find $1 promo from time to time, if you know where to look for. Every time when investors or a bigger player take"s over a company, everything goes down, like when godaddy took over uniregistry or dan, namesilo sold, probably namecheap now, domain.com when it sold, sedo whem it sold to ionos and so on.

 

[capybara]

DC members get up to $500 in overdraft, meaning you can place back orders without an account balance and pay it back within 7 days of a successful catch.

This sounds really cool, could you extend this policy onto outgoing transfers of the promo-discounted domains? Even if the overdraft is only $10 it would be great. So we can transfer a domain out in case of a sale without delays and then just pay for the "difference" some time later.

Jesus!…you have said everything now i have nothing else to cry about. People were not this gracious with the other guys like netsol even though they had $1 promos. So what changed? . Epik had a far better system than this. I was getting my payouts on the same day. If the defense you have for this wack system is to compare it with dead marketplaces like Sav and Epik, that says alot. I am sure crypto has more better use cases than my sales transaction reciept being a polygon tx link. You can actually use it for fast instant payment. It doesnt have to take 3-4 days to send me my money through crypto. Even wire transfer from afternic doesnt take that long. If you are in this for the long run , please fix up.

For a sale we wait for years.Why do we lose that patience once a domain is sold and have to wait just for a week to withdraw it?

The good part here is, we can use that money to renew domains, reg new domains in the mean time.

The good part here is, we can use that money to renew domains, reg new domains in the mean time.

So, if I wait years for a sale, why I need to wait 10 more days for payout, when everything can be done in minutes, because the company has already received the money, has transfered the domain in minutes, but waits 10 days to do a payout. Thinking like this, in 5 years time, we will go back 20 years, when it took 3 weeks or more to receive a payout. Also, lots of us do outbounds, so I register a domain in the morning, I sell it in hours, it's paid and than we need to wait 10 days to finalize the transaction, just because a web3 company deals as we are in the '90. Also, receiving a reply in days to an issue, that's a ionos style customer service, not a revolutionary company.

I have waited for 10 days which is well over a week. Actually, it is 3 days more than the “just“ 7 days criteria by mr. Leo2k for being patient.

You are not gonna believe this but some people dont wait for “years“ to sell domains and even if they did, asking for their payout to be instant has nothing to do with being patient especially after having their Funds locked up for a minimum of 10 days. And how am i supposed to use the money I haven’t recieved to do the “good“ part?
