Domain Investing Stats and Tips

En.org and iL.org are renewed, can the system be tweaked ?

September 22, 2012 by Raymond Hackney

By: RH

Two 17 year old LL.org domains hit the expiring auctions at Go Daddy so far this month.

En.org closed at $21,856 and iL.org had just started and was bid over $2000 in the first few hours.

Now of course these are great domains and with the way the system works who knows what happened. No doubt domainers called or emailed the whois info on these two domains and tried to work a deal. Maybe that made the registrant renew. Maybe they were just lazy and eventually just renewed.

For the first auction EN.org, someone had over $21,000 tied up on Go Daddy. Of course they are going to get it back, but who wants that hassle ?

In your opinion does Go Daddy need to find a way to improve the system at least on names that go for five figures or more ?

    Its very frustrating and quite frankly sucks, but what can you do about it ?

    Susan I am not sure Go Daddy can do anything more ? They have to wait and give the registrant time to renew and that happens even after the auction.
    You also have to figure that these names are going to be in high demand and like I said there are people calling or emailing the owner.

    System does not work and if I had $21,000 with Go Daddy then had to get it back it would be my last transaction with Go Daddy. No doubt some low life domainer called the registrant.

    I talked to my rep about this very issue, and from what I understand, Godaddy is not going to change its system.
    The original owner has up to 45 days to renew, which means that the domain can still be taken away from you, even after it lands in your account (Day 42-45).
    It stinks, but what can you do?
    Boycott Godaddy?
    Doubt if that will work; it sure didn’t with the SOPA issue.
