In an email to Dan.com account holders, the popular domain marketplace owned by GoDaddy announced that users will no longer be able to list domains for rent.
The option to rent domains wasn’t as popular as the lease to own, or the BIN options that both remain.
Said today’s announcement:
“As of July 10, 2024, Dan.com sellers will no longer be able to list their domains for rent. We are sunsetting the capability to focus on our most popular listing types – Buy It Now and Lease to Own. As a seller with one or more domains listed for rent, you’ll notice that the rental option on your dashboard and lander will disappear, but the in-demand Buy it Now and Lease to Own listings will remain.”
While there has been no official announcement about the future of Dan.com as an independent domain marketplace, the overall sentiment remains bleak; GoDaddy shut down Uniregistry a couple of years after its acquisition, citing the importance of Afternic.
