Earlier this week, I detected a couple of changes related to the Treasury.com domain name with the help of DomainTools and DomainIQ.com, which I shared in a post on X:

Treasury.com still does not resolve to a functioning website and the Whois record is private. This would indicate the registrant is not publicly known. There has been a fair amount of discussion about who acquired the domain name.

Pending Sale Domains Shouldn’t be Pulled from GoDaddy Accounts

Last night, I noticed I had a domain name on hold in my Afternic account, but the domain name did not appear in my GoDaddy account. I know that GoDaddy pulls domain names from accounts when they are pending sale, but the disconcerting thing was that I could not find a purchase receipt or any ownership record for this domain name.

I called the Premier Services team at GoDaddy, and I was able to put a few things together. The domain name that is pending sale was hand registered by me in January of 2025. Because I registered it in a bulk purchase, the domain name was not included in the purchase receipt I received. It was also renewed in bulk on the first anniversary, so I did not have a renewal email either. These are standard records I generally have quick access to in my email history. In addition, new registrations have Whois privacy at GoDaddy, so a Whois record didn’t confirm my ownership of the domain name.

A little more than two weeks ago, I tried to buy a .si domain name via Spaceship. I submitted my payment and awaited the domain name transfer. A few days later, unfortunately, Spaceship sent this message to me:

“Hello, We are writing to let you know that the seller has informed us that the domain is no longer available. As a result, we have cancelled the sale and refunded your order. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.”
