Following the news that GoDaddy is retiring Dan.com, the company launched a migration page to transfer domain name sale listings from Dan.com to Afternic. I did not have a ton of faith that this migration would be seamless, so I opted to proactively delete all of my active listings on Dan.com and not worry that something would go haywire in the migration process.
The deadline to manually migrate domain names from Dan.com to Afternic has passed, and Dan.com emailed customers who hadn't previously migrated domain names to notify them that listings have been migrated automatically. I received the email this morning, which I shared below.
Since I did not have any domain names listed for sale at Dan.com, there should have been nothing to migrate. I am going to reach out to my Afternic account manager (who has been very helpful to me) to ensure no changes were made to my account. Hopefully, he has the ability to detect any changes that have been made as a result of this automated migration.
