Companies pay MarkMonitor to NOT make these mistakes. So... GoDaddy failed?

• devrand 2y ago
  Yeah I don't understand this. MarkMonitor themselves are a registry, so is the potentially a mistake in migrating from GoDaddy to MarkMonitor?

    GoDaddy operates the .us TLD, so Zoom registered the domain through Markmonitor, who acquired it from GoDaddy, who shit the bed and broke everything.

      ah-ha! Didn't consider that GoDaddy operates the TLD (in my mind I assumed it was just Verisign). Thank you for pointing that out.

        It used to be operated by Neustar, but GoDaddy bought out their domains business in 2020.

    MarkMonitor is a registrar (one of many). GoDaddy Registry is the .us registry operator (the only one); they actually operate the TLD on behalf of the government. In this capacity they are not operating as another registrar, but as the TLD operator.

    "It would be amiss not to start without a reference to AI, as 2024 saw the movements toward legal definitions and prohibited AI practices with the EU’s AI Act. 2024 also saw more innovative integration of AI into registrars’ service offerings, from “chatbots” to registration process flow to domain name generators. We also witnessed the rise of LLM (or Large Language Models) being used in Brand Protection Services and the identification of abusive registrations. This trend will definitely be increasing in 2025." https://www.markmonitor.com/blog/2024-markmonitor-year-in-review/ https://www.markmonitor.com/blog/2024-markmonitor-year-in-re...

  Or... they did make a mistake. It happens to the best of us.
