[QUOTE="amplify, post: 2323993, member: 130638"] I've reported it to GoDaddy. This isn't acceptable for a publically traded company that had nearly $3BN in revenue in 2019. I would assume that they would spend a couple of hours on a lightweight system that merely displays their portfolio and redirects to Afternic while creating a simple contact form. Though, they should definitely be renewing their SSL certificates. As GoDaddy's portfolio consists of around 750,000 domains [URL='https://s23.q4cdn.com/406380394/files/doc_financials/2019/ar/Go-Daddy-2019-Annual-Report.pdf'][B]according to their 2019 annual report[/B][/URL], with [URL='https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/godaddy-acquires-marchexs-domain-portfolio-business-300069907.html'][B]200,000 of which acquired for $28.1 million[/B][/URL] from Marchex and [URL='https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/blog/techflash/2015/12/godaddy-bolsters-domain-name-portfolio-with.html'][B]70,000 from Michael Berkens' Worldwide Media Inc.[/B][/URL], it would be interesting to see how much revenue the aftermarket sales are making. This would compute to a minuscule $18.8 million (less at cost renewals) in the bigger picture of GoDaddy Inc., though paying for nearly the entire Marchex portfolio to break even assuming a churn of 1% or 7500 domains sold at an average of $2500. However, domain name investors could extrapolate data from this and have a takeaway that [I]quantity[/I] and [B][I][U]quality[/U][/I][/B] do pay off. Obviously, one wouldn't come close to GoDaddy's overall earnings as they do offer a ton of other services other than aftermarket end-user domain name sales. [/QUOTE]
