The integration between Afternic and GoDaddy makes it easier for me to list my GoDaddy-registered domain names for sale via Afternic. It’s also simple to update prices for active listings. I have regularly come across a couple of bugs and finally learned what was causing them. I want to share the root cause of the problem as well as a solution until the issue is resolved by GoDaddy engineers.

On occasion when trying to list domain names for sale on Afternic from within my GoDaddy account, I received this error message:

“Domain listing were not created. Due to some backend error we are not able to create the domain listings.”

Another issue I have come across is on the page where I can edit prices of Afternic-listed domain names. When I click the update button, everything below the header

Over the past few years, GoDaddy has built one of the top domain name portfolios. The company doesn’t report internal sales publicly, but I would imagine it sells a higher volume of domain names than almost any other portfolio owner. The company also sells domain names on behalf of domain investor clients via Afternic and GoDaddy Auctions.

Put simply, GoDaddy has the most and perhaps the best domain name sale data that could be helpful to others, including investors who sell via Afternic and GoDaddy. Reportedly because GoDaddy is a publicly traded entity, the company does not publicly share domain name sales data or information about its sales.

With that being said, I think it would be beneficial to domain investors and GoDaddy customers if the company would be willing to share some of its data, even if it does not reveal information that could be used to infer anything about earnings.

Here is some of the information I would find helpful and why:

GoDaddy published a press release announcing that Danica Patrick will be speaking about entrepreneurship at two upcoming events in New York City. Patrick, who retired as a GoDaddy-sponsored NASCAR race car driver, has now been building her brand online with the help of GoDaddy. Thankfully, GoDaddy got rid of the “GoDaddy Girl” moniker several years ago, but she is probably still the most recognizable company spokesperson.

From the press release:

“Since retiring from racing in May, she’s dedicating herself to her own entrepreneurial ventures, including Pretty Intense, her health and fitness book; Somnium, her vineyard; and Warrior By Danica, her athleisure apparel line, as well as her commitment to helping others who aspire to convert their passions, or side hustles, into full-time business ventures.

November 16th, Danica is scheduled for a keynote ‘fireside chat’ at Entrepreneur L!VE in Brooklyn, New York. The one-day event is sponsored by Entrepreneur magazine and brings together influencers and innovators to share their unfiltered, unconventional and unexpected insights into what it takes to launch, sustain and grow a business.

December 3rd, Danica takes the stage at Business Insider’s Ignition conference, in New York City. The premier East Coast media and technology conference, IGNITION features the visionaries and industry leaders and CEOs who are shaping our future, and some who are approaching their businesses in unconventional ways.”

The events at which Patrick is speaking are not free to attend, so people who are interested in attending will need to
