  @shubgaur Can I ask it to login to GoDaddy and update my DNS settings so that DMARC and SPF are set properly?

  @acz0x1 @KhaledAtieh_ Dan is dead, and if this is an old but live BIN listing on Afternic, it should be displayed at many other registrars too. Probably a sync issue, GoDaddy is still showing an already unlisted domain. I would just ignore.

  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!!!!

  @GCanada3146 No problem, and good luck! I know that feeling, @GoDaddy is a dogshit company that basically laughed me off when my late best friend’s memorial website got hacked. Just an awful brand all around.

  @Samaytwt Replace GoDaddy with Porkbun on that image and you're good. GoDaddy should NEVER be an option.

  @Castello_Bros While an appraisal section is subjective if it turns out ridiculous then it just pushes buyers to select one of the other crap domains they are trying to push. IMO..But David has done a great job by pushing on this, if Godaddy wants to maintain their relevance they better start stepping up to the plate because others are coming and you cant buy them all out

  Hey, remember when GoDaddy took down Wasabi overnight due to user content, and couldn’t be reached until the next day? Many such cases. Ancient sysadmin wisdom: Never put a company with “Daddy” in its name in your critical path.

  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.

  BLAKE FOUND (@ifoundblake) reported 28 minutes ago

  @Namecheap Apparently GoDaddy had issues with email servers this morning too so this seems like a larger issue. Difference is they resolved the issue in 11 min and we are hours in without communication and an estimated resolution timeframe

  Flip, @GoDaddy is a monumentally poor experience.

  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.

  Indian Domainers: With Afternic landers being unavailble to Indian users/clients ie not resolving in browsers - Are you going to change landers from Afternic/Godaddy or keep it as is? No comments or anything about this issue yet from Godaddy @jamesiles #domains #indiandomainers

  @nickbaumann_ The turning point for me was when it asked me to login to GoDaddy so it could update DNS and I was like ‘why was I still doing this manually’. Such a small thing but super cool
