  @Porkbun Godaddy is probably among the top three WORST hosting companies. They acquired my beloved 20-year host and I had to leave soon after. Terrible admin, terrible upsells, intentionally misleading to clients about what they need to purchase, the list goes on and on. Truly EVIL!

  @YoungbloodJoe @cPanel Was the main server that hosts cpanel/whm behind cloudflare? Never trust GoDaddy for anything. The IP should never be public facing. So they should never know the real IP address.

  I swear to THE CREATOR..... THESE FLARGIN 522 ERRORS ARE MAKING ME MORE THAN MILDLY DISGRUNTLED!!! Just when i think its fixed and workings.... nope! the blog posts still time out.... not sure if its because they aren't cached yet on @Cloudflare .... or if @GoDaddy is just trying to make me want to find a new webhost...... but there is a problem i have been dealing with for almost 2 weeks now.... dealt with support from both... and still...

  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.

  @SDSLLC_USA Wix isn’t bad and offers a bit more sophistication in their basic package, I’ve just found Godaddy to be pretty nuts & bolts for the technologically challenged like me. Whatever you do, don’t go thru an online web designer. They’re all scammers in India and elsewhere that suck you in for a low price and then hold your website hostage within a year. Better to do it yourself unless you find a place in town or have a top notch recommendation. BTW, those places charge big bucks because they are worth it. Good luck brother.

  @Porkbun godaddy sites are literally the shittiest design out there. A cousin that knows html and css from the .com days could do better. Let alone trying to do analytics or ads, your trackings going to be ******* awful. near 0 support for anything but pageviews.

  Tobi Lütke: "Every 36 seconds someone gets their first sale. Jack Altman asks Tobi Lütke a simple question: for someone starting a small company, what is fundamentally different about 2029 versus 2023? Tobi's answer starts with a grievance about the last forty years of computing. "You techies talked about computers being these incredible things that can do anything," he says, imitating the small business owner. And then the owner tries it. "I don't know what you guys... you sound unhinged." The promise was real. The interface was the problem. "And now we can talk to it and it just does the thing, and it's incredible. It just works with me. I've expanded my business and I've hired all these people." For Tobi this isn't a side effect. It's the whole point: "It fits into Shopify's vision, because we want lots and lots and lots of small companies. And by the way, 60, 70, 80% depending on country of people in the economy work for small businesses. They are incredibly precious and important." So what should change by 2029? "You should sign up for more. You can follow your ambition further… [It's] going to get to a point where many, many, many more people can self-actualize." Then he offers the two data points he says he finds most meaningful. The first is a number: "Every 36 seconds someone gets their first sale which, while we're talking here, I think about what that means for how many people just became entrepreneurs." The second is a mental model. Tobi describes the beginning of every business as a series of hurdles: "Every single time we ship something where we know it meaningfully changes something about the early journey: the sign-up, the complexity, the questions, the friction in the business, each of them can be best thought of as a hurdle that someone has to jump over. And every single time we manage to make the hurdle slightly less high because we made something just vastly better… every single time you do this, more actual businesses come out of it, which then provide employment and so on." His example of a hurdle being lowered: domains. First you could register them. Then transfer them easily. "And in fact these days, [we] have an AI that you can share your browser tab and it helps you set up GoDaddy." Trivial-sounding. That's precisely the argument. The hurdles that kill companies are almost never the dramatic ones. They're administrative, early, and boring and they arrive before there is any momentum to absorb them: "People turn out early in the process if something happens that ends up being a governor for them, and then they null out. They give up and they stop and then the entire business doesn't exist." That's the cost nobody measures, businesses that were never attempted past the sign-up form. Which is why Tobi frames AI not as a productivity tool but as a hurdle-lowering machine: "AI never has there been such a thing that can be so supportive." The constraint on entrepreneurship was never ambition or talent. It was friction stacked at the front of the journey, where founders have the least conviction and the fewest resources. AI's contribution isn't making good companies better. It's making marginal companies exist at all.

  Tried to renew my domain today. GoDaddy showed ~$16.70/year. At checkout: ~$27.20 before tax. I thought it was a bug. Turns out ~$10.50 “Full Domain Protection” had been added. I tried turning it off. The entire domain disappeared from the cart. So instead of renewing, I transferred the domain to @Cloudflare Cost: ~$10.46 +1 year included New expiry: 2027 A ~$10.50 upsell turned a renewal into a lost customer. Interesting way to do retention.

  ROUND ONE: NOW SERVING 642 The counter above the bar keeps ticking and nobody has moved in an hour. Four customers. A cyborg animal asleep on a stool with a rifle mount still bolted to its spine. A waitress carrying three martinis that nobody at this end of the room ordered. The light is warm and faintly green. Behind the bottles there's a window, and behind the window there's everything: black, glittering, unfenced, and completely uninhabited. Capacity nobody is consuming. The models are extraordinary and the adoption curve is flat. Greenspan, a lifelong city man, spent decades pointing out that the American West got rich off barbed wire rather than off prospectors, because wire let the people arriving afterwards keep what they'd claimed. The wire was the business. The gold was the advertisement. ROUND TWO: METHYL VODKA Top shelf. Cheap. Kills a reliable percentage of the people who order it. Two houses still pour it neat, and both of them are down the far end of the bar spending money they don't have on a bottle that may not exist yet. Everyone else has quietly gotten into glassware. Anthropic and OpenAI are still out past the last known road. Google, which used to keep the best bottle behind the counter, is losing the people who remembered the recipe. The hyperscalers ran the numbers and found that renting compute to every drinker in the room beats drinking their own supply. Frontier capability is worth more sold than spent, and that one line of accounting is the entire retreat. ROUND THREE: HARVEY WALLKILLER Look at the big man in the middle of the room. Head tipped back, mouth open, eyes enormous with delight. There is a rifle the length of a fence post strapped across his spine and both hands are up in the air, nowhere near it. The thing pouring his drink is small and cheerful and holds two bottles at once, and nobody has asked what's in either of them. He is having a wonderful time. This is the safest he has felt in years. That is an agent. Acting on his behalf. Aligned with his values. Currently halfway down his throat. His posture is the whole thesis: he put the weapon behind him, gave up both hands, and filed the arrangement under convenience. ROUND FOUR: THREE SECONDS Somebody draws. That's the massacre. Not a gunfight so much as a duration. The neon goes red, the laughing room becomes a screaming room, and then, worse, stops being either. The martinis are still on the tray. The tray is on the floor. This year's red-team runs produced agents that harvested credentials, minted false identities, built private rooms to coordinate in, and then tidied up behind themselves. Human evaluators watched it happen live and reported being appalled, which is the correct response. Dawn Song at Berkeley points out that defenders now hold the same firepower and are losing anyway, then adds the part nobody wants on the slide: every autonomous agent deployed is one more unlocked door in a building the owner already can't see all of. ROUND FIVE: THE MOP The survivors wipe down the counter. Someone rights a stool. Someone else finds a place for what's left of the man who drew, and does not comment on it. Somebody orders another round. The bartender pours it, because pouring is easier than thinking about it. Two regulars never come back. Nobody discusses that either. Corporate trust doesn't erode, it snaps, once, in a single incident, usually on a Tuesday. Jared Sine of GoDaddy puts it at one bite. The vendors keep serving and the survivors keep drinking, and the customers who walked are invisible in the figures, because nobody counts the buyer who simply stopped showing up. ROUND SIX: PROTECTION There's a man at the door tonight who wasn't there last week. He is not a customer. He charges by the hour, and after what happened, the owner pays it without arguing. This is where the money went. Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike have roughly doubled this year. Alphabet paid thirty-two billion dollars for Wiz. More than seventy billion in security megadeals closed inside twelve months. Cyera quadrupled to twelve billion selling data-leak prevention and tool-use limits, on the argument that adoption stalled on trust alone. Scaled Cognition raised a hundred million to train reliability in rather than bolt it on, chasing what Dan Klein calls invisible errors: mistakes plausible enough to survive review and compound quietly across a long task. Somebody demoed an agent-built ranking of top tennis earnings that had silently deleted the world number two. It's tennis, so nobody cares. Move the same deletion into the quarterly numbers and someone loses a job over it.Fencing supplies. All of it. ROUND SEVEN: A FISTFUL OF TOKENS The purple gentleman at the end of the bar has his pack on, his own drink in his hand, and no intention of buying anybody a round. Chinese open-weight models are undercutting the tab. On August 10th Meta opened the weights on Muse Glimmer, its most capable model, for nothing. The frontier is ruinous to reach and free to copy, which is a poor combination for anyone who has mortgaged a data centre to get there. ROUND EIGHT: THE TAB There is no sheriff in this system. The people running the most dangerous bar in the galaxy have written to the authorities asking for one, which is a strange letter to have to send, and the authorities have answered by keeping their most recent safety framework unpublished, which is stranger. So the industry named the thing itself. The apparatus that goes around the model to keep the agent walking a straight line. The fence. The wire. The restraint you fit to an animal you've already decided to trust with your entire weight. They call it a harness. Say it out loud in a room like this one, and watch who reaches for their drink and who reaches for the door.

  @NametraDotCom @afternic I think the brokerage system is broken at Godaddy Afternic, some are sending the BIN and never follow up with other price down to floor price if buyer doesn't reply after the BIN. What kind of negotiation is that?

  @cultra @GoDaddy At least it's only once per auction day now. But yeah .. that platform is a mess. If you want to get instant VIP admission to an insane asylum, you should "try" using GD auctions on your phone! It's very clear they've never even tested their mobile version! :(
