Hi folks,
I don't know if there is anyone fool enough like me to give Afternic a try. unfortunately, I did. And I like to share my story here.
1. After migration, my domains only showed blank pages. I had to email them several times to get it fixed. During that time, I felt their representative are not very acknowledged. Their response sometimes sounded stupid. I had to explain them very sample things.
2. Their EPC is much lower than Uni. Reported visitors are also lower. The revenue is 2/3 less.
3. When it is time for payment, I received nothing. I dropped them an email to inquire. A few days later, got them the following response. Probably a few folks are familiar with it.
"Thank you for contacting Afternic Support!

Sounds bullshit? I've been working with Internettraffic/DomainNameSales/Uni for over a decade without an issue. They did a GREAT job. They found and solved the problem quickly while Uni never found in a decade.
I already heard their reputation sucks, yet I still gave them a try. How silly I was. I wasted a few month. For those who might give it a try, think again.
I miss Uni. Will Frank build something again?
