  @nomodeath Thank you for your concern. Unfortunately. it's not just seniors. Somebody has decided that we are all moving into the present, ready or not with previous versions deleted. The software no longer works as it used to. It is less efficient. It is missing connectors. I can no longer do what I do because I don't have working tools. The screens flip constantly, Yes. I am a senior but I used to design and code systems. I ran installations. I haven't lost my abilities. Never used a smart phone before last year. But I don't translate icons as fast as is needed. When instructions are followed, there's always one that doesn't show up on the device being used. Have simplified website building. Use Notepad to code and upload modules via Godaddy. Convert the html to pdf instead of using publisher which is being terminated by Microsoft in October. Looking for a suitable device that doesn't fry my eyes and brain like 5G and Windows 11 [worse than 5G] does.

  The “Distribution” Myth in Domaining! Let us know first, what is distribution supposed to mean? In theory, a marketplace takes your domain and distributes it across a network of registrars purported to be the sales channels or generators, putting it in front of buyers when they search the EMD. Does that sound powerful? Now let us look at what actually happens with Afternic, which GoDaddy acquired and uses it as a listing mechanic. A domain is listed by a domainer at AN. The domain resolves to a sales lander. The domain resolves to a sales lander, the buyer wants it, and the transaction happens. In Distribution, it is seen as already registered and available at a listed price. It can be at any of the registrars registration portal. Intersted buyer types it and if he wants it, he wants it and takes it any ways. Here the catch is, a buyer types or otherwise arrives at that specific domain, which he can do at any registrar the buyer wants it, or even browses the direct lander and buys at and the transaction happens. In the end even if he was at x, y, z registrar of his choice, the sale happens at Afternic or GoDaddy so to say. GoDaddy is simply the beneficiary. Where was the discovery created by “distribution”? For an EMD, especially, the buyer is often searching for the exact word or phrase already. They could reach that domain regardless of whether it was listed through Afternic. So the domainer may gain no new demand, no measurable traction, no brand recognition and no meaningful audience. Yet GoDaddy can still earn from the transaction. So here is the uncomfortable part: The marketplace can monetize a sale without necessarily creating the sale. The buyer wanted that domain. The domain could have been found anyway. The sale could have happened anyway. The domain resolves to a sales lander, the buyer wants it, and the transaction happens. Calling the transaction as a “distribution” glory is myth. That doesn't magically turn direct /existing demand into marketplace-created demand. Distribution should create discovery. It does not. Discovery should create incremental demand. Incremental demand should create incremental sales. That is true sales traction. If none of those things can be demonstrated, “distribution” is just a sophisticated word for being in the path of a sale that was going to happen anyway. The domainers needs traction and discovery, whereas distribtion creates just a transaction that too with a risk. The risk being, the premium listing is shown and displayed with a lure of alternate TLDs of the same name at registry prices. That is the risk every domainer is living with when they chose such a path. So calling it a Gimmick is no myth, which Distribution as a marketing effort is.

  @NametraDotCom @afternic I think the domain brokerage system is broken at Godaddy Afternic, some brokers are sending the BIN and never follow up with other proposals if buyer doesn't reply after the BIN. What kind of negotiation is that? What is the floor price for? Keep the pipeline working, don't stop!

  Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reported 26 minutes ago

  As some of you know I've been battling a hacker on a few servers of ours (all SEO test websites, no clients) for several weeks now. We ultimately discovered the attacker infiltrated the server after a publicly disclosed @cPanel exploit in April. The servers are all at GoDaddy and were all patched 1 to 2 hours AFTER the hacker got in and made fake reseller accounts with full privileges and API tokens. We've fixed this but the attacker keeps getting back in on a routine basis that makes it appear the root server has been compromised. This is out of our depth. When we ask @GoDaddy to help us fix this they told us it wasn't their fault and are telling us to instead purchase new VPS servers, back up the servers and move them over to the new VPS - the problem is that: 1. GoDaddy never alerted us to this compromise or potential exploit, we had to find it on our own. 2. If we did what they ask, we would move the exploit to the new server. The only real way to fix this is to clean each site one by one and move them to a new server. We are talking hundreds of websites. It would take months to complete, all while the attacks can gain full server root access at any moment and delete anything they want.

  @GoDaddyHelp When I spoke with support they said that godaddy still owned the domain, maybe they were misspeaking?

  Next morning rolls around, the "right" domain is too long according to him, so he switches it on me, and I have to return the other domain, cancel workspace, and set everything up for a 2nd time. Re-do all authenticating, communicating with GoDaddy for a refund, etc.

  GoDaddy is just ******. Got two websites through them. Tossed phone away 6 months ago. Have downloaded my id twice. Verified more than my bank needs. They still cant remove the Text Security ****. Every time I try and fix it it's more infuriating than the last time.

  Tried to renew my domain today. GoDaddy showed ~$16.70/year. At checkout: ~$27.20 before tax. I thought it was a bug. Turns out ~$10.50 “Full Domain Protection” had been added. I tried turning it off. The entire domain disappeared from the cart. So instead of renewing, I transferred the domain to @Cloudflare Cost: ~$10.46 +1 year included New expiry: 2027 A ~$10.50 upsell turned a renewal into a lost customer. Interesting way to do retention.

  @domainicate @afternic Congrats. I have analysed after GoDaddy shut down Dan, one of the best marketplaces they bought over, and shifted to GD landers, the enquiries went down crashing. And further analysis yields, the listings at afternic ( it is virtually GoDaddy and not AN, which itself used be another top marketplace with plenty of sales before GD bought and shut it down too) do not generate a sale except a direct landing at URL, which seems what happened here. And most of sales of GD are now low priced domain sales. They earn much better at auctioning old dropped names, that they do not sell otherwise through the landers.

  @SkyXFunNext Ugh.... i have been fighting a DNS issue between godaddy and cloudflare, i cleared the cloudflare cache yesterday and that causes some pages to time out until they are cached again. sorry for the inconvenience, if you refresh or close the tab and try again it often works. Should sort itself out next time the page is cached.

  Turns out sicne it was a .be domain, which is administered by Belgium, there was extra step before the domain becomes active. After completing that all is good. So GoDaddy nor Firebase is in the wrong here. GoDaddy support did not know this rule to mention this in our 4h chat

  @Namecheap is still down and @NamecheapCEO is not speaking to whether it’s possible to migrate to @GoDaddy at this time. When we regain access to our livelihoods (if their servers come back up), can we set up a mass migration discount for NameCheap survivors moving to GoDaddy?
