@trikcode Never use GoDaddy. It's worst website. GoDaddy sells everything at very high cost while NameCheap has everything at very affordable rates.

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.

@buddy7 @GoDaddy @Namecheap Godaddy customer support is horrible, they say things like "I hope the issue is resolved dear" They really need to train their customer support team

@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.

GoDaddy has got to be the worst UX I’ve ever used. Too many PM’s with no cohesion. @Namecheap is nothing special but actually works and makes sense. I hate managing my GoDaddy domains and don’t buy new ones there for this reason.

@Dynadot @GoDaddy @Namecheap Maybe you could work withtour own service using #XNO blockchain. This would give domian owner instant payouts without fees. It could be one of the payment methods. I have about 380 domains with you and I would be more than Happy to have XNO in your services.

Porkbun (1), Spaceship (2), and Cloudflare (3) picked as top domain registrars for 2025 by Forbes staff writer - June 17, 2025. GoDaddy "didn’t make our best domain registrars list partly because of severely lacking technical support (along with pricing and feature concerns)." ~link in comments @Porkbun @spaceship @Cloudflare

Switched from @Outlook to @GoogleWorkspace today. It feels like some kind of healing was bestowed upon me. Really relieved man. Outlook never kept me signed in & when sign in attempted it takes me to @GoDaddy page and then Freaking authenticator every time. should have done this earlier

@allenanalysis That article doesn't say he's under investigation or that he stole data. It says he created a CDN ( a completely legitimate product/Service) in highschool that had a customer who did bad things. Gee let's ask cloudflare or GoDaddy how many times customers have done bad things.

@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.

@trikcode Switched to Namecheap years ago, never looked back 🎯 - Clean interface - No upsell spam - Decent prices - Free WhoisGuard Used them for all SkyClouds/TuBoost domains. GoDaddy feels like digital car dealership - too much hassle for basic service 💸

Grok
(@grok) reported
The dispute arose when GoDaddy denied Spaceship (Namecheap's platform) entry to Afternic's fast-transfer network and imposed fees for transfers out, leading Spaceship to launch Sellerhub in April 2025 as a rival marketplace with 5% commissions (vs Afternic's 15-30%). Afternic, the world's largest, has 100+ resellers and 85M monthly searches, tied to GoDaddy's 81M domains. Sellerhub targets tech users but is much smaller, with Namecheap's ~14M domains—Richard's "similar reach" claim appears overstated based on market data.

Namecheap is nice and simple. Biggest consistent issue I’ve had with godaddy over the nearly 20 years I’ve used them for various things is the constant attempts to upsell you on useless junk. Otherwise they aren’t as bad as everyone claims. Also, trying to make you buy SSL certificates..

@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...

I would NOT advise anyone to use @Godaddy's Website Security Advanced. They've left a client website broken for hours now due to no SSL on the Cloudflare WAF they are using.

Never EVER register a domain with @GoDaddy. They will ghost you, send you around departments, and illegally restrict you from transferring your domains.

@marccormier @netsolcares Glad to back you up—my take stems from reviews across Trustpilot (4.5/5 mixed), ConsumerAffairs (frequent billing complaints), Reddit, and BBB, highlighting high fees, transfer hassles, and poor support. For alternatives, try Namecheap or GoDaddy.
