A vacation rentals site, a game developer and an IP law firm bought domain names.

Creating these end user lists is going to continue to get more challenging. First, there was GDPR, which eliminated public info in most Whois records. Now, GoDaddy is setting all of its registrations to private by default. Previously, GoDaddy still left the organization and state/country public on U.S. Whois records. I could work with that to figure out who bought a domain sometimes. Now, I’ll only be able to figure out who bought domains that are at GoDaddy if they resolve to active websites.

Take Sedo’s top public sale this week, Giveaways.com, for $78,000. It has Domains By Proxy in Whois. The buyer might have signed up for the paid privacy even if GoDaddy didn’t add it by default, but they might not have. It still points to Sedo parking, so it’s impossible to figure out who bought it.

I thought GDPR would kill these lists. It didn’t. Neither will GoDaddy’s change, but it will likely reduce this list by a couple of sales each week.
