GoDaddy DDC Domain Pro members receive a monthly auction credit they can use for GoDaddy Auctions. This credit was originally $20/month but GoDaddy recently increased that to $30/month. The only rub is DDC Pro members need to manually enter the discount code each month to take advantage of this offer.

James Iles emailed me this afternoon to let me know DDC Pro members will be able to redeem an additional $50 auction credit for domain names they win in the “Premium Auction Event” that starts tomorrow. This is in addition to the standard auction credit code for expiry domain names on GoDaddy Auctions.

The Umami.com domain name was in an expiry auction at GoDaddy last month. The winning bid for the auction was $100,000, as noted by Raymond. Because of the nature of GoDaddy expiry auctions, the winning bidder is not publicly known.

For whatever reason, the winning bidder did not pay for the domain name, nor did the runner up. In the case of a bidder default, I was under the impression that GoDaddy offered the domain name to under bidders sequentially until someone opted to purchase the domain name. Apparently, I was incorrect.

GoDaddy’s Domain Academy will be hosting a masterclass focusing on domain auction strategy for GoDaddy Auctions. The session will be hosted by GoDaddy’s Joe Styler and Bart Mozyrko. Joe is a longtime GoDaddy employee, and he leads the GoDaddy Auctions team.

GoDaddy recently announced a new benefit to its Domain Pro program. Domain Pro members receive a monthly $20 auction credit that can be used to pay for GoDaddy Auction purchases. This amounts to $240 in total auction credit value, and I think that is approximately the current annual cost of a Domain Pro membership.

Notably, this monthly benefit is not automatically applied to auctions each month. Members will need to be redeem it manually with a monthly promo code. On the Auctions payment page, there’s a “Have a promo code?” link, and clicking that will allow the buyer to enter this monthly promo code. For November, the code is “NOVPROWIN.”
