  Hi @GoDaddy , how do I get a refund for the domain I purchased? I’m frustrated with your chatbot, it wastes so much time, keeps asking the same questions over and over without explaining what the problem is, even though a support ticket has already been created.

  @DotWeekly Godaddy brokers are terrible. I’m convinced they do anything in their power to not let you reach an agreement with the seller anywhere near the minimum offer.

  Indian Domainers: With Afternic landers being unavailble to Indian users/clients ie not resolving in browsers - Are you going to change landers from Afternic/Godaddy or keep it as is? No comments or anything about this issue yet from Godaddy @jamesiles #domains #indiandomainers

  @afternic does your nameservers working? It appears for the past 10 days it is not working. I checked with various domains owned by other investors also. Domain investors check your domains listed on Afternic. or is it not working only in India? @godaddy

  @GoDaddy I need you to fix my issue, as I can't delete the forwarding domain I have tried everything, I can't even contact a support at all, this is very frustrating

  @NamecheapCEO Yo it's 3:55 — I get that things can take longer than expected, but to not update us while we sit by waiting for our data to resurface at the time you said it would start leaking back (3-3:30). @GoDaddy is there anything you can do to get customers off Namecheap while its down?

  @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?

  @GoDaddy still no responses to my tech support inquiries. Yet you have no problem running automatic renewals. I see where your priorities are.

  If the service is down, at least provide a proper status update and ETA. If this continues, we'll seriously reconsider using GoDaddy for future requirements. Please resolve this urgently.

  I built @trustTLD for two main reasons 1. it was fun to build, first public SaaS product. Huge inspiration to build and ship from @marclou and @robj3d3 2. buying premium / private domains can be a huge pain The truth is, most domain owners have unrealistic expectations, usually around the true value of their domain. Even more irritating is how difficult it is to actually get in touch with a private seller. Take this example, if you use the GoDaddy broker service and want to contact the owner of a parked taken domain, you have to spend $99.99 (non-refundable btw) to communicate with them. Then a 20% commission on the sale price of the domain, all while communicating with the agent from GoDaddy. For a $10,000 domain acquisition that’s $2,100. Not to mention if the buyer doesn’t respond (majority of the time), you’re still out a $100 and your time. With TrustTLD, domains are verified directly by the seller, and offers can be sent and received, between sellers/buyers directly and privately. This would cost the buyer nothing but transfer fees (<$12). From there, the sale/transfer settles privately between the buyer and seller (full discretion on escrow to close the deal). Other domain acquisition options include auctions and expired listings. Much of these feel inconsistent and scattered, and can many times end with no acquisition. Aside from the domains with an owner that hasn’t surfaced on Earth in last 10 years, we are creating a more direct channel for domain buyers and sellers to verify, communicate, and acquire. TLDR; we make buying and selling premium domains simple

  @GoDaddyHelp We have already fixed this from other vendor due to pathetic customer support.

  @Castello_Bros While an appraisal section is subjective if it turns out ridiculous then it just pushes buyers to select one of the other crap domains they are trying to push. IMO..But David has done a great job by pushing on this, if Godaddy wants to maintain their relevance they better start stepping up to the plate because others are coming and you cant buy them all out

  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.

  Ever wonder why someone “never got your email”? If you’re using the GoDaddy email bundle that came with your domain, there’s a good chance it never left their servers OR WAS DELETED.
