A discussion about GoDaddy and how to improve it.
GoDaddy has made many improvements to its domain platform. What more can it do to make the experience better for domain investors going forward? On today’s show, Shane Cultra and I discuss some ideas for the company that dominates the domain name aftermarket.
Also: Pablo Escobar, domain hijacking, .UK, .Uno, and Tucows sends its cows out to pasture.

The auction login thing. . . . . . so annoying.
More stats on domain names that are listed for sale on Afternic . Yes !
More reporting of the domain names they sold through their NameFind folio too. Helps the industry.
Many VERY valid points, glad they’re part of the questions to ask GD.
Thank you
Hi Andrew,
Thanks again for this forum. It would be great if Godaddy brought back Whois Counts.
My wish list for Afternic.
1) Two factor auth for Afternic login, preferably with security key support.
2) self verification of domains already listed with an account specific verification case I can add as a dns txt record.
3) an API to manage my Afternic listings.
1 & 2 already exist at Godaddy/Godaddy auctions and just need to be brought over to Afternic. But #3 is a big one for me. At least an automated means to upload a csv reconciliation files in the meantime as a stop gap until a full true API is available would be helpful. I’m too lazy to keep manually uploading a new csv everytime I need to change something.
