A GoDaddy Quote from DNForum:

Our goal is to bring Afternic and Dan.com together into one, unified platform. The merging of the two platforms is discussed in a recent Domain Name Wire podcast, and is scheduled to happen this year.

We will share more details with the community as we progress.

I'm in favour of combining DAN and Afternic because at this point having both is becoming redundant.

I did try the New Afternic lander the other day and the amount of screens, waiting, and work to get it done is a far more complex process than it was on Dan and the landers are starting to look like Dan but they have a bit more tweaking that needs to be done.

Have you clicked a "Buy Now" button to see what happens?

For me it takes almost a minute to bring up my logged in Godaddy account with redirects and spinning wheels before I see the shoppingbasket.

Far from smooth and probably intimidating to an end user but I'm hopping they will be tweaking that a bit as well.

What was your experience?

I hate using Afternic. It is so user unfriendly and really an embarrassment to Godaddy as the largest domain registrar.

They should move everything into Dan.

If the end product is most Afternic-like than Dan-like, I'd probably move everything over to SAW, or whatever is closest to Dan right now with a reasonable commission.
