GoDaddy to Launch “Premium Domain Marketplace” on DomainNames.com

The Afternic X account posted a link on X without much context that caught my attention this morning:

Visiting DomainNames.com shows a landing page announcing that something is coming soon with revolving words like “groundbreaking,” “innovative,” “disruptive,” and “transformative.”

While not much more is shared on the landing page itself, the title of the page likely gives away what is coming: “DomainNames.com – Premium Domain Marketplace Coming Soon.”

DomainNames.com was originally acquired by Frank Schilling for $370,000 at the NamesCon auction. The domain name had previously been owned by Network Solutions. I don’t believe Frank did anything with the domain name, but it was acquired by GoDaddy when the company acquired Uniregistry.

I have not heard anything about DomainNames.com, so I am just as curious as everyone else to see what GoDaddy does with the domain name.

  1. How many of these “premium” soliticitations do you get a day?
    “I’m reaching out to you regarding the premium domain HardwoodFloorContractors.com …which is for sale…………”

    What is the REAL definition of a “Premium” domain?
    i probably have a dozen “Premium” domains at best – the domains that VC money and unicorn money chases.
    Everything else is just “a domain” – including this guys HardwoodFloorContractors.com.

    Just like godaddy’s “Boost” – this is just more bullshit – just like everybody “reaching out to me” – when all I want is someone “reaching around me”
