One domain name can change your life. 🚀

@AndrewWarner I've tried to use other free and open source dictation apps, but they're just not as good as Wispr Flow.

Do you not find the same thing?

I find it frustrating that comparisons always come down to price. What about quality?

@chris_gname Thank you, Chris. 🙏

I didn't know about the new features at IDS. I will check them out! Thanks for sharing.

@chris_gname @DomainSherpa @jstenn13 @andrewrosener @J10enbaum Just recorded this morning.

Let’s go! “Extra catastrophic” episode dropping Friday!

New @DomainSherpa this week with @jstenn13 @andrewrosener @J10enbaum and me.

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

@mhp_guy But my CPA and bookkeeper only use QB so what do I do?

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

@2badomains I added a domain to my cart, changed it to 1 year, and the check out was for a single penny.

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

Most likely only good for a single domain for new customers (not sure), but if you want essentially a free .com registration for a year — you’re welcome.

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

@DomainDanHQ @Sedo @GoDaddy 😡 So frustrating

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

The process of buying domains is broken.

I bought one domain via @Sedo on Oct 30 that I'm pretty sure wasn't going to be delivered b/c it was developed. Still no refund.

I bought another domain via @GoDaddy on Oct 31 that hasn't been delivered yet. Obviously not fast transfer. Not even sure I'll get it.

Imagine if you knew nothing about the industry how frustrating and dirty the industry would appear.

@Name__Groove @Sedo @GoDaddy @AlanShiflett 😡

@DomainNameWire Great show.

@jstenn13 is a domain investor legend in the making.

@oceanadomains @Sedo @GoDaddy

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

My frustration with buying domains at Sedo and GoDaddy caused me to code all day Sunday.

Now customers can make a better decision on where to buy. Or at least know they might not get the domain.

[Notify.domains @NotifyDomains]

Same domain. Three marketplaces.

Spaceship: $5,995.
GoDaddy: $5,998. ⚡
Sedo: $6,495.

Only one is Fast Transfer.

Three dollars more, and you usually have the name the same day. @NotifyDomains shows you which one before you pay.

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

@askAplin @Sedo @GoDaddy No thanks. I'll stick to registering domain names at a registrar that's regulated by the country I live in.

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

That's a red herring.

GoDaddy is not stealing domain names from people who are doing lookups.

It was either a whois lookup failure (it happens to every registrar), or it was registered at another registrar (you can do a whois lookup to see where it's registered), or some other logical reason.

Either way, glad you found a registrar that works for you.

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

@ejapan8899 @Sedo @GoDaddy Of course. I bought a domain last week through Spaceship marketplace.

However, the two domains I purchased were only listed on Sedo and GoDaddy/Afternic (one each per marketplace) and there were no other listings or ways to contact the domain owners.

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

@TheHoodLabs @Sedo @GoDaddy I don't think they're the worst. I think both Sedo and GoDaddy/Afternic have to do a better job verifying the inventory they have listed is actually for sale by the current owner.

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

@dotcorner @Sedo @GoDaddy I think that something like DomainAttest can fix this system (https://t.co/OsODIspUaS) but getting registrars to use it is another story.

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

@DavidSustiel Yeah, they made big news a few years ago with the domain purchase. Then nothing since then.

[Michael Cyger @MichaelCyger]

@tropicalhat @Sedo @GoDaddy Good advice
