Price syncing between Dan and Afternic has lost its luster
Dan.com domains can be listed on Afternic without the need for a separate account. Initially, the integration of Dan and Afternic was optional and Dan.com users could opt out; eventually, it became mandatory that any domain bearing a BIN price at Dan gets added to Afternic via a transparent process. That process worked well until […]
Copyright © 2023 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Dubai or Russia? Aleks(ander) claims Dan.com treated him with “corporate racism”
Another day, another fringe report about Dan.com on Trustpilot. This time around, a guy by the name of “Aleks” whose locale is recorded as being Turkey, left a negative review with some pretty strong claims.

Copyright © 2023 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Squadhelp: Premium domain listings exclude Dan.com but this might change
Premium domain listings at Squdhelp are allowed to be cross-listed on Afternic and the Sedo MLS; in contrast, they are not allowed on Dan.com. Unlike Afternic that accepts domain listings directly from Dan.com using an API, Squadhelp has decided to not utilize Dan.com as a permitted platform for cross-posting domains. Apparently, this decision requires the […]
Copyright © 2023 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Dan.com reviewer: “This must be illegal!”
A negative review for Dan.com is yet another example of ignorance among technocrats about domain names. Mr. Marcos Vega from Argentina said: “This must be illegal. They simply buy domains, do not use them and sell them at high prices. Therefore, whoever owns the legitimate name of their business cannot acquire it. Horrible action. These […]
Copyright © 2023 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.It wasn’t so hard now, was it?
Dan.com announced via Twitter that a fresh release of its platform code fixes the lack of a switch for the estimated value, or GoValue as GoDaddy calls it. The changes add a switch that toggles the view on and off. While this appears to work, there are a couple of issues: First, the switch’s logic […]
Copyright © 2023 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Domainers express frustration over growing woes at Dan.com
Dan.com entered the domain aftermarket segment of the domain industry, becoming a popular platform for domain investors. Its subsequent sale to GoDaddy for approximately $71 million dollars kickstarted a process of assimilation: GoDaddy already has its own marketplace, Afternic, which is promoted as the go-to platform for domain sales. In recent weeks, users of Dan.com […]

Copyright © 2023 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.AiFternic: Hidden meaning of the forced “opt-in” for Dan.com BIN listings
Beginning August 1st, all Dan.com domain listings with a BIN price will be listed on Afternic automagically. Currently, the model allows for Dan.com users to turn off that option globally, or per domain. GoDaddy-owned Dan.com is being molded into an entry point for Afternic, faster than the Uniregistry Market (RIP) ever was. When you pay […]

Copyright © 2023 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Dan.com changes fly under the radar all while GoDaddy promotes Afternic
Big fanfare announcement earlier today: Afternic will be offering lease to own options. Awesome. Thanks for copying Dan.com, finally. It would be great if that were done independently, without buying and taking apart Dan.com. But it is what it is: Dan.com is a GoDaddy asset, and GoDaddy can (ab)use it to their heart’s content. Meanwhile, […]
