  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.

  @Sir_Saab @GoDaddy Money seems to be all they care about, 'cause now all they do is try to upsell other stuff I don't need right now without sorting out my issue.

  @agent144x Daaaaannng I'm late to the party. I should of known when they did a survey, it was real godaddy focused. I've been 365krypto.x for so long do I hang it up? The quiet transition, on how they did it, hurts the most to us day 1s. Now they are web2, I use namecheap

  Website is giving me heck today..... We lost the microsoft email package from godaddy... and honestly.... at over $100 an email address a year just to have a "professional email" isnt really worth it when you consider just how clunky their email really is.... im not a huge fan of outlook.... So i have to take a pause from page design... and figure out the email issue... I can't wait until i can afford to pay someone very well to do these kinds of things... if you got the skills... when we can pay the bills.... we'll be slidin fat stacks.... So get you laptop packed! I Spitz HOT FIRE!!!!

  @GoDaddy @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddy This is not acceptable - what is the point of calling a premium domain when - you have not done the basic checks of trademark? So if I get any issue from the other party I will be putting on you - since I am getting no proper response from you on the same. Thank You!

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

  Hey @GoDaddy you AI website assistant is a disaster and your website navigation is awful. The AI tells me to click things that don't exist, you publish pages and can't provide analytics, your third part instructions for analytics is broken, and once things are broken, good luck, because your AI doesn't even seem to really understand what it is doing and makes changes I don't ask for that break the site and then can't remember what it did to break it.

  @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.

  Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reported 14 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.
