  You used to pay $200 a year just to put a padlock on your own website. Then Let's Encrypt happened. In the early internet, SSL certificates were controlled by a handful of corporations. Every website had to pay them every single year or visitors would see a scary security warning and leave. DigiCert → $200 a year Comodo → $150 a year GoDaddy → $70 a year They turned basic internet security into a subscription. And millions of small websites simply could not afford it. By 2014 only 30% of the web was encrypted. Not because encryption was hard. Because it had a price tag. Then, in 2015 a group of engineers launched Let's Encrypt. Free SSL certificates for every website on earth. Automated. No credit card. No annual fee. Forever. The certificate industry laughed at them. They stopped laughing fast. One million certificates in the first year. One million every single day by 2018. One billion total by 2020. Ten million every single day today. Let's Encrypt now controls 57% of the entire SSL certificate market on earth. The web went from 30% encrypted to over 80% in under ten years. DigiCert still exists. Comodo still exists. But they lost the internet to a nonprofit that decided security should never have a price tag. The SSL industry spent 20 years building a tollbooth on the web. Let's Encrypt tore it down. For free. Forever.

  GoDaddy and Infoblox just announced support for open standards on AI agent identity and verification. Two of the world's largest DNS infrastructure companies are building the identity layer for agents. The internet's foundation is being rebuilt. Identity first.

  @GoDaddyHelp Hello @GoDaddyHelp , yes, I've gone through that process numerous times, many with support on phone. They admit it's "stuck". Online articles tell me that, with escalation, it can be released, to allow "approve" to execute

  Unverified conspiracy theory: GoDaddy holds all these inactive domains through a shell company so they can charge finders fees and commission to “find” the owner of the domain, themselves Namecheap would never stoop to such loser levels

  @_NameOffice Likely search on GoDaddy for the domain, see it and buy with a service they already use and trust.

  @GoDaddy @afternic Dear GoDaddy/ Afternic, Sir, Most secondary Domain marketplace investors ( customers) were either Afternic or Dan Customers, two largest #domaining platforms. GD bought afternic ( in 2013 as a running marketplace having its own search engine metric and sales). Then it shut down the same. Today afternic is not the marketplace but in fact a listing process site just. Then GD bought Dan .com ( in 2022 ) the world's best marketplace in rankings. Again, it had search engine metrics and posted excellent sales. It too was culled down in 2024, telling all that the said would be shifted to Afternic. The domain investors which make you and the domaining industry an industry, because of whom you exist today, were led to believe that you were unifying both. So all logically thought that once you switch Dan to afternic completely, the Dan search metric will also shift to Afternic and sales will continue in the same manner. But it was soon found out, you did not replicate the successful Dan to Afternic. This meant that sales engines of Afternic and Dan both were culled down mercilessly. Everybody knows GD is a registrar, before you bought these market place platforms. But Afternic and Dan were not. These were individual sales transaction platforms for old domains, where the listed domains were searched and bought. But now you removed all that and shifted the lander to GoDaddy, which sales fresh regn. So the buyer can only reach through a direct url search at GoDaddy, through which you are promoting fresh registrations, and not through Marketplace search as earlier. So this way you are using the investors domains for selling fresh alternate Tld Regns and not really investors domains, which Afternic and Dan were best known for. Can we request you on behalf of domaining community to re-instate Dan or replicate their search engine/sales engine under Afternic itself and retain sales of secondary domains at Afternic itself instead of at GoDaddy which is not a marketplace but a registrar. Hope you will try to win the trust of large community of domain investors and old Afternic and Dan customers.

  They chop and change all the time! So bad for trust. @Godaddy now only a tiny bit worse on transfers. Sure UD say "we commit to at cost pricing" - no disrespect just harder to believe you.

  @GoDaddy Login says my customer number does not exist. Re-checked it in emails. It is the same customer number. Struggling to renew expired domains. Please help!

  The pricing mistake that ends most reseller businesses: competing with GoDaddy on price. $5-8/month per client is a race you cannot win. Price on service instead: Basic hosting: $15-20/mo Managed (updates + security): $30-40/mo Priority (SLA + reports): $50-75/mo

  @maietta Ah, so moving to GoDaddy causes some problem? I switched long ago to Dynadot. GoDaddy wanted an insane price for .us domains.

  I am the owner of Azure subscription and tenant. After moving my verified domain from GoDaddy to NameCheap, I am now completely locked out of this subscription and tenant. I cannot log in or access any resources. I no longer need this subscription or any of its resources (already replaced) . I would like to permanently cancel and delete the entire subscription (including all associated resources, databases, Key Vaults, etc.) to close this account cleanly. @AzureSupport
