GoDaddy explains Afternic Boost – DNW Podcast #497

GoDaddy explains why it introduced Afternic Boost, plus plans for Dan.

Last week Mark Levine and I gave our initial feedback on Afternic Boost, a new program from Afternic that promises extra exposure for a fee.

Today, I’m joined by Alan Shiflett. Alan manages all of GoDaddy’s products for domain investors. He talks about how Afternic Boost came about and why it costs extra. I’m still not sold on the product, but I think it’s worth understanding what’s going on behind the scenes to get an idea of what might happen in the future with GoDaddy and Afternic.

Alan also discusses the coming sunsetting of Dan.com, Make Offer landers, and how domain investors can sell domains in an upcoming auction.

Also: Atom commission match, a bogus $10 million sale, and more.
