Posted by DomainGang on October 21, 2023, at 10:28 am

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. In his attempt to buy and pay for the domain, the self-professed entrepreneur from Dubai was allegedly denied completion of […]

Squadhelp: Premium domain listings exclude Dan.com but this might change

Posted by DomainGang on October 14, 2023, at 11:39 am

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 […]

Dan.com reviewer: “This must be illegal!”

Posted by DomainGang on October 7, 2023, at 11:25 am

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 […]

It wasn’t so hard now, was it?

Posted by DomainGang on October 3, 2023, at 9:00 am

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 […]

Posted by DomainGang on September 29, 2023, at 6:20 pm

Among new features introduced at Dan.com today there’s GoValue, an arbitrary metric stuck next to your domains’ BIN prices. Tagged with an “Est. Value” header, the numbers are calculated the same way such metrics appear next to domains registered with GoDaddy. These domain valuation numbers are capped at $25,000 dollars and are highly inaccurate and […]

Domainers express frustration over growing woes at Dan.com

Posted by DomainGang on September 28, 2023, at 1:50 pm

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 […]

AiFternic: Hidden meaning of the forced “opt-in” for Dan.com BIN listings

Posted by DomainGang on July 20, 2023, at 3:30 pm

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 […]

Dan.com changes fly under the radar all while GoDaddy promotes Afternic

Posted by DomainGang on July 13, 2023, at 7:10 pm

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, […]

Posted by DomainGang on July 7, 2023, at 10:29 am

Recent changes at Dan.com indicate that the GoDaddy brand is approaching its end of life.
