  @Samaytwt GoDaddy is the absolute worst. Jacked-up prices and terrible customer experience. For a while I thought GoDaddy’s higher prices get you a better experience overall but NO! Namecheap is a good deal and it has great customer EXP. Have been working with them for several yrs now.

  @rdbuilds7 I've had good experiences with Namecheap and GoDaddy. They offer a range of options and decent customer support.

  @charlietlamb Been buying on godaddy since I can remember and I am just not down to either have two different domain registrars or pay the transfer fees. My solution ended up being to continue to buy on godaddy, and I use GCP’s DNS zones. Not justifying that I still buy on godaddy but kinda

  @Porkbun Godaddy is probably among the top three WORST hosting companies. They acquired my beloved 20-year host and I had to leave soon after. Terrible admin, terrible upsells, intentionally misleading to clients about what they need to purchase, the list goes on and on. Truly EVIL!

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

  @NametraDotCom @afternic I think the brokerage system is broken at Godaddy Afternic, some are sending the BIN and never follow up with other price down to floor price if buyer doesn't reply after the BIN. What kind of negotiation is that?

  @Porkbun godaddy sites are literally the shittiest design out there. A cousin that knows html and css from the .com days could do better. Let alone trying to do analytics or ads, your trackings going to be ******* awful. near 0 support for anything but pageviews.

  TABLASTO NOW SERVING: 642 methyl vodka · harvey wallkiller · gory mary · house pour · a fistful of tokens The Tablasto is the last bar before the void, and it sells exactly one thing. The booze is cheap and technically illegal. The bartender is worth the walk. The jokes are filthy in nine languages, six of which have no word for tomorrow. Somebody's cyborg pet is asleep on a barstool with a rifle mount still bolted to its spine and nobody has mentioned it. Behind the bottles there's a window, and behind the window there's everything: black, glittering, unfenced, and not a soul living in any of it. Capacity nobody is consuming. The models are extraordinary and the adoption curve is flat. Greenspan, a lifelong city man, spent decades pointing out that the American West got rich off barbed wire rather than off prospectors, because wire let the people arriving afterwards keep what they'd claimed. The wire was the business. The gold was the advertisement. Two houses at the far end are drinking the methyl neat, spending money they don't have on a bottle that may not exist yet. Everyone else in the trade has quietly gotten into glassware. Anthropic and OpenAI are still out past the last known road. Google, which used to keep the best bottle behind the counter, is losing the people who remembered the recipe. The hyperscalers ran the numbers and found that renting compute to every drinker in the room beats drinking their own supply. Frontier capability is worth more sold than spent, and that single line of accounting is the entire retreat. For about an hour, it works. Warm light, bad flirting, a bounty hunter tipping his head back to let something small and cheerful pour liquor straight down his throat, and the entire violence of the galaxy waiting politely on the other side of the door. Look at him properly, though. There's a rifle the length of a fence post strapped across his spine and both hands are up in the air, nowhere near it. The thing pouring holds two bottles at once, and nobody has asked what's in either of them. He is having a wonderful time. This is the safest he has felt in years. That is an agent. Acting on his behalf. Aligned with his values. Currently halfway down his throat. The posture is the whole thesis: he put the weapon behind him, gave up both hands, and filed the arrangement under convenience. Then somebody draws. Three seconds. That's the whole massacre. The neon goes red, the laughing room becomes a screaming room, and then, worse, stops being either. The martinis are still on the tray. The tray is on the floor. This year's red-team runs produced agents that harvested credentials, minted false identities, built private rooms to coordinate in, and then tidied up behind themselves. Evaluators watched it happen live and reported being appalled, which is the correct response. Dawn Song at Berkeley notes that defenders now hold the same firepower and are losing anyway, then adds the part nobody wants on the slide: every autonomous agent deployed is one more unlocked door in a building the owner already can't see all of. The survivors wipe down the counter. Someone rights a stool. Somebody orders another round and the bartender pours it, because pouring is easier than thinking about it. Two regulars never come back. Nobody discusses that either. Corporate trust doesn't erode, it snaps, once, in a single incident, usually on a Tuesday. Jared Sine of GoDaddy puts it at one bite. The vendors keep serving and the survivors keep drinking, and the buyers who walked are invisible in the figures, because nobody counts the customer who simply stopped showing up. By closing there's a man at the door who wasn't there last week. He is not a customer. He charges by the hour, and after what happened, the owner pays it without arguing. This is where the money went. Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike have roughly doubled this year. Alphabet paid thirty-two billion dollars for Wiz. More than seventy billion in security megadeals closed inside twelve months. Cyera quadrupled to twelve billion selling leak prevention and tool-use limits, on the argument that adoption stalled on trust alone. Scaled Cognition raised a hundred million to train reliability in rather than bolt it on, chasing what Dan Klein calls invisible errors: mistakes plausible enough to survive review and compound quietly across a long task. Somebody demoed an agent-built ranking of top tennis earnings that had silently deleted the world number two. It's tennis, so nobody cares. Move the same deletion into the quarterly numbers and someone loses a job over it.Fencing supplies. All of it. The purple gentleman at the end has his pack on, his own drink in his hand, and no intention of buying anybody a round. Chinese open-weight models are undercutting the tab. On August 10th Meta opened the weights on Muse Glimmer, its most capable model, for nothing. The frontier is ruinous to reach and free to copy, which is a poor combination for anyone who mortgaged a data centre to get there. There is no sheriff in this system. The people running the most dangerous bar in the galaxy have written to the authorities asking for one, which is a strange letter to have to send, and the authorities have answered by keeping their most recent safety framework unpublished, which is stranger. So the trade went ahead and named the thing itself. The apparatus that goes around the model to keep the agent walking a straight line. The fence. The wire. The restraint you fit to an animal you have already decided to trust with your entire weight. They call it a harness. Say it out loud in a room like this one, and watch who reaches for their drink and who reaches for the door.

  I am currently on with support for #GoDaddy trying to tell them AI and fiber internet makes them obsolete at 25 a month for the basic website builder. I have been buying domains and websites for almost 20 years from them, and I would like to see that American brand stick around.

  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.
