- cloudwalking 15y agoLooks like GoDaddy didn't actually withdraw their SOPA support: http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/npair/godaddy_has_not_withdrawn_its_official/ http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/npair/godaddy_ha...
- science_robot 15y agoin domains not dollars.
- eps 15y ago1. And their typical daily transfer-out rate is... 2. It'd be interesting to see where these domains went? Namecheap, Gandi, etc.
- yuhong 15y ago"It should also be noted that for the three days prior to the call for the boycott on Thursday, Godaddy had this amount of transfers out: that being Monday (8,800), Tuesday (13,000) and Wednesday (14,500)."
- kayhi 15y agoI would imagine that Namecheap (et. al.) may be able to put up their influx of domains as a hot PR issue.
- lewispb 15y agoThis is surely just tracking nameserver records (pointing to the Go Daddy domaincontrol.com domain), the actual number of domains transferred in or out may be higher.
- FreeKill 15y agoAlso, unless people are on top of it, it takes more than 5 days usually to transfer a domain. I'd imagine most people who transferred will be waiting through that window of time rather than digging for the hidden confirm quickly option.
- citricsquid 15y agoNo, whois reports the registrar that manages the domain, the DNS is irrelevant. For example: http://whois.domaintools.com/citricsquid.com http://whois.domaintools.com/citricsquid.com switch to "Registration" profile, "ICANN Registrar:GODADDY.COM, INC." The one flaw with this is that it takes "up to" 7 days to transfer depending on the registrars in question. I moved a domain to godaddy 4 days ago and it still doesn't show that it's with Godaddy. edit: Nevermind, you meant in this specific case where it's using DNS. You're right, although it can be done via the whois data.
- yummies 15y agoNot a very useful statistic considering they must process thousands of transfers a day due to regular business activity. A better stat might be % increase or at least the number of transfers above the average. Admittedly, that would make for a far less catchy blog post.
- powertower 15y agoSeriously misleading title. GoDaddy, with 50,000,000 domains, has lost almost nothing, about 1000 domains, when you factor in new registrations and new transfer-ins. We would need the historical records to see more into this. Hell, it might even look like their registrations and transfer-ins are up due to being in the news. I seriously doubt that GoDaddy gives a shit about this. Their domain business is a complete "loss leader" operation that costs them about a dollar of loss on each domain they sell. Hosting accounts is where it counts the most for them and I can tell you few, if any, people will be transferring hosting accounts out as it's a complete pain in the ass.
- yuhong 15y agoThis is only what was transferred so far though. Many major sites are taking a while to transfer because they want to avoid downtime.
- RKearney 15y agoThere is zero downtime when you transfer a domain.
- CWuestefeld 15y agoBut if you're transferring web and email hosting, as I am, it takes a lot more logistical work. The domains leaving are just the leading indicator. If they're going away, there's plenty of reason to believe that other customers, that will hurt them more, are working on the issue.
- OstiaAntica 15y agoI'm switching SSL which is more complicated.
- jaylevitt 15y agoThat's absolutely not true if you also use the registrar for DNS. We transferred a domain away from Network Solutions a few weeks ago, and got bit by the combination of: 1. When you re-point your domain at non-NetSol servers, they momentarily point toward a server that in turn says your A record is their "business profile" default landing page. It takes a few minutes before pointing correctly at your new name server 2. Many large caching nameservers don't obey TTL; our SOA's TTL was 7200, or 3 hours, but we saw servers at RCN, BellSouth and Cox serving our old SOA nearly 24 hours later. Together, that means that for 24 hours, some people got this lovely page: http://www.vttcorp.com/ http://www.vttcorp.com/ instead of our server.
- agj 15y agoMinus the mean of transfers out this week = 11800 total. That probably doesn't equate to very much profit loss. It's good that people are voting with their money, but we need to move away from the GoDaddy circlejerk -- there are plenty of other targets. Also, 21000 + 15000 = 36000, but that's besides the point.
- jpdoctor 15y agoWhether 37,000 is a big number or not: Kudos to the community for making themselves heard. However, godaddy is a pimple on the economy. Somehow, someway, this kind of activity needs to be multiplied 1000x.
- mmatey 15y agoOk.. This is either just way off or I'm not reading this correctly. They had nearly as many transferred in than transferred out yesterday. Transfered In (20,034) Transferred Out (21,054) 1020 domains is nothing particularly comparing it to the total pointed there: 32,159,050
- pokoleo 15y agohow long until they realize that it's not spelled reditt?
- jvandenbroeck 15y agoif I interpreted the source of the article correctly, then the article makes a big mistake, they count the domains that change from godaddies nameservers. If you don't host with godaddy it wouldn't show in the statistics. Check the link to which the article refers.
