    Afternic meh

    I have had about 10-11 of these messages now, not a single one has lead to an offer or any type of communication or negotiation. I am convinced at this point that either they are looking to get BIN prices or some or price set to complete data, which seems unlikely. My alternative theory is...

    Afternic meh

    That is a killer. Any time I have bought of them it's going from the domain lander, so haven't searched. It's crazy they don't have a search engine tho. I can see my time on afternic being very short, especially after the somewhat arsey reply I sent haha.

    Afternic meh

    This sounds exactly what I have gotten. It sounds like they have had someone on the domain listing, but they have bottled out, so now the broker is trying to convert a cold lead. The equivalent of when you move your mouse to close the tab and a discount code pops up. It's just bizarre.

    Winding down

    Jesus man, sorry to hear that. Last spoke regular you was setting up the bike wheel spinny thing getting into it and planning to work the land and more. Hope things look up :)

    Differences Between Tyre Kickers And Potential Customers

    This was literally the point I made to Afternic a few hours ago, only to be advised I need to go through 100s of names, work out what I dream of selling at and set higher minimum term. I deliberately have a low minimum because it means I can just ignore those people.

    Afternic meh

    My portfolio was forcibly moved over from dan.com to afternic, I have only dealt with them as a buyer before, never a seller. I had what appears to be a cold offer on a domain, I say cold because it was for the minimum offer. A broker has contacted me tho, so I assumed they would have a...

    Nominet - Out of hours contact numbers?

    I had this and for reference Out of Hours are unable to do anything, but in hours staff can "for the time being" manually intervene and remove the block on the name. They made it sound like this a temporary measure (being able to intervene) and they also made it sound like they only gave me the...

    A better way to manage domains?

    I would maybe reach out to Rob who does UKBackOrder / Melita tag , and Alex @monaghan both of those are server monkeys and coders, so likely they will know another way without using cpanel. possibly custom management apps. I don't think the average member will be able to help. I can't remember...

    Where do you list your domains for sale.

    Most my sales come from my own parking pages, Sedo annoys me by keep removing domains without DNS set, so I don't readd them now.

    Different logo depending on URL

    Your existing code would work, just include a "$logo" variable with the require switch($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]) { case "domain1.co.uk": require_once("domain1.php"); $logo = "domain1.jpg"; exit(); break; case "domain2.co.uk": require_once("domain2.php"); $logo = "domain2.jpg"; exit(); break; }...

    Different logo depending on URL

    Look inside $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. The easiest way to have all sub domains inc www redirect to pure http://domain.ext, then explode/split the result into an array and [0] will the domain name without the ext, then use result[0].jpg to display it.

    Wordpress web host

    I'm currently leaving TSO after they acquired my previous host, its been poop show. None stop issues, they have been been disabling features I paid for because they use a magical cpanel which doesn't support it (even tho 2 other other hosts have the features). I'm moving to Jolt.co.uk where my...

    Health Check

    I had a heap of tests done at Derby University mostly related to my strongman training, but I recommend a Dexi Scan, they call them nuclear scales, they use x-ray tech to scan every gram of your body, they tell you precisely down to the gram how much fat, muscle, bone you have, even how heavy...

    At eleventh hour, most .uk registrants still don’t own their .uk names

    If you phone nominet up, they can manually add you to the free 1 yr scheme before hand, its the first time this has been offered but they need to take up to be big so bending over backwards. My account, I signed up Feb/Mar for the free 1 year and it wasnt applied, so I phoned up a few days ago...
