@kenAI_domains Solid will check it out when I’m at my desk. Biggest issue is most comps are pulled from NameBio without filtering out the majority of names which are wholesale (GD/Namecheap/Dropcatch/Snap etc)

@damengchen @Namecheap It happens all the time, even on GoDaddy. They don't care it's a bad practice. Clearly, no auction should start if it can't be honoured.

@damengchen @Namecheap Exact thing happened to me with a domain worth tens of thousands, however, mine happened on @atomHQ, who were also of no help I don't care what anyone says, it's unethical to be auctioning domains that can still be renewed If this is the standard, the standard should change

@Advertibly @Aladey 20 likes, not bad. Pork bun is crap, I discovered. Wasted a lot of my time. Namecheap is what i was told to use. porkbun is just nasty and unresponsive. No idea why companies are allowed to operate like that. It is criminal. I stop the ****. Promote good things.

@2domain You can support them but it's at a cost to your own bottom line if you chose them over Afternic. Namecheap is a billion dollar company, if you want to support them, great. But just know it will cost YOU money.

@damengchen @Namecheap Registrar use of the grace renewal period to auction domain names they can’t guarantee delivery of is a colossal waste of time at the very least! It creates a very poor user experience for people who actually believe they are buying a domain when they ‘win’ an auction! Surprise

@Darcymason GoDaddy makes 80% of network sales, and Namecheap made 50% more sales than all other DLS partners below them combined. It doesn't matter how many partners they get, they can't come remotely close without GoDaddy. Same reason Sedo is crickets even with a "large" network.

The Don of Email
(@donofemail) reported
I call this the "Abandoned Proxy Play."Here’s how to build a $1M/year intelligence platform monetizing orphaned domain infrastructure and the cracks in corporate IT. Step 1: Scrape every domain registrar’s zone file (Verisign, Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.). Cross-reference them with public WHOIS records and MX lookups to identify expired but repurchased domains that once belonged to legit companies. These are usually bought by sketchy actors for email spoofing, phishing proxies, or weaponized redirects. Why does this matter? Because the repurchased domains often still have residual legitimacy *baked in*: subdomain permissions, wildcard SSL certs, third-party platform access (Slack, Dropbox, Google Drive), or misconfigured corporate apps that still trust them. This makes them perfect attack vectors. Step 2: Go deep into DNS/MX history on these expired domains. Use archive tools (Wayback Machine, DNSdumpster, VirusTotal) to trace how they were historically configured. Did they serve emails, run an app, host important redirects? Were they ever tied to marketing campaigns, SaaS accounts, or employee dashboards? Every breadcrumb is a vector. Step 3: Once you’ve flagged high-risk or high-value expired domains, run specialized recon tools (Nuclei, Sublist3r, Amass) against them. You’re looking for subdomains/records that are still active but should no longer be tied to the infrastructure. Examples: – API keys left exposed in old URL strings. – Legitimate mail servers still responding to spoof tests. – Public Dropbox/Drive links still tied to subdomains. – Malformed OAuth flows that allow privilege escalation. Here’s where it gets wild. Step 4: Rank domains based on "infrastructure vulnerability score"and monetize in two parallel streams: Stream 1 – Corporate Security Intelligence. Build a SaaS platform that sells alerts to companies running sensitive apps/tools tied to orphaned domains. Email them: “Your abandoned domain [X] is still active on [Y third-party platform] and presents a supply chain risk.” $2k–5k per subscription for proactive orgs. Stream 2 – Threat Intelligence Ecosystem. Package detailed reports on high-risk expired domains and sell to cybersecurity startups, SOC analysts, penetration testers, or small MSPs. Bundle access to your tools/API for private sector researchers. $499/month for individuals, $5k/month for larger firms. Step 5: Scale data relentlessly with cold outreach and partnerships. Used Levelinbox to buy 10k inboxes and blasted every cybersecurity team at companies on Crunchbase. Pre-wrote templates for specific platform risks: “Found your legacy Slack channel still accepting DMs from an expired corporate domain. Want a full audit?” Step 6: Protect your moat. Build your own lightweight Chrome extension that scans a company’s authentication flows for expired domain usage during sign-in (like an API recon bot). Offer free trials to C-suite execs at major orgs via email campaigns, then upsell enterprise plans post-installed usage spike. This isn’t speculation. Expired domains are massive vectors, and IT sprawl keeps leaking attack surfaces. Every corporate misstep in the DNS/MX world becomes fuel for your intelligence engine. You're monetizing the laziness of expired infrastructure. You don’t own the holes—you *sell clear maps of them.* Play executed, signal controlled.

@NamecheapCEO @Namecheap @spaceship Richard, none of my Sellerhub listed domains are displaying prices when SLD is searched on NC. It works fine when SLD+TLD is typed. Already informed this issue multiple times to support but still nothing! and most of my domains are also using Spaceship landers only!

Mark - My Brand Domains
(@MyBrandDomains) reported
@dmainoz @NameBio You'll notice that the 'venue' selected in NB only contains 'Private', 'Sedo', 'Atom', 'Daaz', 'Domain Market' and 'Afternic'... I excluded GoDaddy, NameJet, Dropcatch, NameCheap, etc. because most of the sales there are purchased at wholesale auction, with many, many, purchases for seo (backlink domains) reasons. A majority of Europeans, especially German speaking regions, primarily use Sedo, or an affiliate registrar/marketplace in their MLS network, for their domain listings (sellers) and search (buyers). That group is ok with or actually prefers hyphens to separate their words in the SLDs. - All my thought out 'opinion', not advice! Hope that all makes sense...
