DAN.COM Domain Marketplace (Official Thread)

[DAN.COM]

DAN.COM (formerly known as Undeveloped.com) is on a path to be become the biggest domain marketplace in the world. We use state of the art technology to solve everyday problems buyers and sellers in the domain industry face. At DAN.COM we focus on automating most processes required to buy & sell domains to increase a more efficient and active secondary market for domains.

What sets us apart is our strong focus on product development and customer satisfaction. We leave nothing to chance and every single feature and element we introduce is professionally and carefully designed and built.

DAN.COM is ranked in the top 5 best-rated marketplaces in the world (According to the biggest review platform Trustpilot) and in the domain industry, we're the domain marketplace with the highest rating with an average of 9,4 out of 10 points.

At DAN.COM you will get the highest value for the lowest commission around. Due to our domain transfer automation, we can offer significantly faster handling of domain transactions and payouts (usually within 24 hours) at the lowest fee charged by any domain marketplace.

We've been the first on many fronts and proudly will continue to keep innovating. We were the first to offer optimized for sale pages since 2013, the first to provide payment plans in the form of lease to own and rentals and also the first and only domain marketplace offering free SSL on all domains parked with us for over a year now.

Dan is having issues with adding domains. They're looking into the issue.

Dan is having issues with adding domains. They're looking into the issue.

Have you already heard whether this issue has been resolved?

 

[silentg]

Yeah it's working now. Domains that I added before were in a backlog and were added to the account.

 

[NameGroove]

Because you are not sending the name to the buyer, you are going to send it to dans account, this is pretty standard in escrow services and saves a lot of trouble. If you pick push for example, the dan bot will give dans account info.

aha! That makes sense.

The same issue with non-loading pages due to SSL/firewall conflicts has started to pop up again. It takes a page refresh to reload after a delay of several seconds.

At this point, I am considering to end my support of Dan.com altogether. It was good while it lasted.

 

[karmaco]

And is there a free service you use to find an appropriate background header?

How did you get a brand name change? I thought a free plan can only change to their real name or has that changed?

 

[Samer]

We love hearing about your experience on Dan.com! Thank you for posting.

@DAN.COM can you add “favorites” heart shape for domains considering buying on platform?

It doesnt have to be “heart” but a “favorites” list. Thank you.

I can confirm that even for customer domains that have a TLS certificate already present on DAN's systems (created weeks ago, like on May 3), it still takes several reloads to actually show the actual lander on https. The first few visits on lots of tested domains will give an error first.

@DAN.COM Please have a look at this again, this is hurting both Sellers and @GoDaddy - thank you.

In a effort to sell off all my Domains, I'll be giving them a try.

Yes, I was surprised at how many Dan landers on another NP member's website were showing not secure. It was about 1/3 for the Dan ones. Their Atom.com doman listing resolved without any TLS issue. So it was not a browser cache issue on my machine.

NP members may want to recheck how well their Dan landers are appearing. Keeping potential customers happy can start with providing reliably secure landers upfront.

 

[Future Sensors]

NP members may want to recheck how well their Dan landers are appearing.

Indeed. For their DAN landers, they have to check directly on https with their domain names, like https://example.com/

With DAN, has anyone experienced landing pages that trigger malicious warnings on most anti virus programs? I had this issue with ParkingCrew and they could never correct it.

I wonder if this is related to the SSL and firewall issues with some of the Dan landers? For unclear reasons for me, some but not all of my Afternic Dan landers present the browser warning that the site is not secure.

Apparently there have been some temporary fixes in some instances for others. but the problem then recurs. Hopefully Dan can explain if and when this will be permanently fixed.

With sincere regret, I have decided today to no longer use DAN.com as a lander for my domains. The TLS pages that I checked manually earlier today and which ultimately no longer gave errors after a number of reloads, now show the same problem again. So it seems to be a matter of very short caching somewhere on the infrastructure side of DAN that is causing this. I wish DAN.com the best of luck in solving this recurring and persistent problem, but -unfortunately- without me for a while.

Is this likewise remaining an issue with the Afternic landers, even without the Dan forwarding? I was getting the same "not secure" messages with them, but had hoped that the Afternic Dan lander would be better. Unfortunately, the issue seemed better but not resolved using them.

Thanks for the update.

 

[Future Sensors]

No, these landers were using ns1.dan.com and ns2.dan.com directly. Afternic is not involved here. I maintain separate accounts at DAN and Afternic.

Good afternoon Theo, and @Future Sensors,
Thanks for letting us know. We're investigating the reoccurrence of this issue as a top priority.

Best regards,
Dan.com

Have you compared the Afternic Dan landers TLS/SSL/Firewall performance to the direct Dan landers?

And thank you and @Acroplex for your tremendous diligence with this matter.

 

[Future Sensors]

Have you compared the Afternic Dan landers TLS/SSL/Firewall performance to the direct Dan landers?

When it's working, DAN/Afternic performance is comparable. No complaints about this.

 

[Future Sensors]

Firewall

Not sure what you mean here, in this context.

 

[LoveCatchyDomains]

Well, the question is whether, at least right now, the Afternic Dan Landers have more reliability overall compared to the direct Dan landers? For now, are they a potentially useful alternative temporarily while Dan tries to permanently fix these issues?

My reference to the firewall issues was based on Acroplex's posting. So really, it's a cache and TLS issue primarily?

And again, thank you both for raising attention to this important issue. Domainers may benefit by more vigilance monitoring the landers and listings they post, to make certain that their domains are actually being seen.

 

[Future Sensors]

Well, the question is whether, at least right now, the Afternic Dan Landers have more reliability overall compared to the direct Dan landers?

I think the "Afternic Dan lander" is a redirect to a dan.com URL, I expect no TLS problems there.

The TLS issue at Dan.com we're discussing today is TLS on customer domains, not on the dan.com domain, even while a redirect may take place to dan.com thereafter.

 

[Future Sensors]

I can't respond to this. I'm only looking from the outside. Even though I know a bit about the technical side of this in general, as a Seller I just want my landers to work.

Dan.com is investigating and will let us know
