I'll add that .si is coming to GoDaddy very soon.

I agree and we'll continue bringing it to product on both Afternic and GoDaddy.
Was there a specific incident that made this more pressing for you? Happy to chat.
Thanks, we do watch the conversations closely, so we’re reviewing and will get back to you and those at NP as soon as possible.
Brad, sorry for the delay, it's been a busy couple of days. @afternic is reviewing and will get back to you as soon as possible.
Mind emailing me a screenshot of the issue? I know there were a few bugs that were resolved with an update late last week.
For me, this consistency is hard to maintain. The API is helping to optimize my listings, and it does sweeps on a regular basis.
I also bring in demand signals to regularly check my pricing (lead count, views, and GoDaddy searches) for trends.
We're testing a new batch of lander designs at Namefind.
Got feedback on any of the designs? Let us know!
At any point in time GoDaddy For Sale Landers have dozens of experiments running on them (they start with a small portion of Namefind traffic and successful variations expand from there). Lately we have been testing some different UX designs as some noticed in other threads last month. The first few rounds didn't do better than our current landers so we are on to the next batch. Love seeing the latest variations we're testing today. If you have ideas for designs we should test let us know.

I had to take advantage of the $8.49 DCC Member Deal at @Godaddy. It's a price that makes it worth a few dice rolls.
This was my prompt to Toaster, my agent.
"If you don't pay for yourself this month, I have to get rid of you. Find me 10 domains related to compute, intelligence, or agents that I can resell in the next year to make your cost zero". Here is what he came up and registered

The BIG issue is Toaster couldn't finish the transaction for me because the API only quotes $12.99 and can't discount or adjust with the API. So I had to pretent like I was in 2025 and do it by hand. 😂

GoDaddy just changed its header advertising banner on my blog, promoting less expensive .com registrations ($8.49) and transfers ($8.99).
The offer is part of the Domain Discount Club.
One of the things I love about DomainNames.com is the marketing behind it.
As well as the event attendance (like @token2049), and GoDaddy distribution, DomainNames.com runs hundreds of ads like this.
The leads flow in, and @brokertom and team work them 💪

folks at @GoDaddy came through in the end and tracked down the seller.
i'm now the proud owner of firstindex.com! 🎉
A premium .com was listed on @GoDaddy. I purchased it. Seller never responded so purchase was cancelled.
What are my options here to get it? It was listed for sale so clearly the owner at least at some point wanted to part ways with it.
Synopsis:
For years, domains have served as addresses, brands, and digital assets. In an Internet increasingly mediated by AI agents and platforms, however, durable and independently controlled digital identity may become even more valuable.
Who is an agent acting for? Which business, person, or service should another system trust? Where does reputation accumulate? And who controls that identity when platforms and interfaces change?
This conversation explores the possibility that the domain industry’s next opportunity extends well beyond websites. As AI changes how people and machines discover, identify, and interact with one another, domains could play an increasingly important role in identity, trust, attribution, and ownership across the next generation of the Internet
