flip.uk - .UK Domain Auctions and Marketplace

You could set a reserve instead!

The system only allows me to have 1 reserve price auction at a time, and I had 3 offers on Flip today, so can't set a reserve for each.

Are you using flip landing pages?

No, all my domains are parked at Dan.com, no nameservers set for any at Flip.

Is it just me today or is the site really slow to load?
I've had it time out a few times.

Same here

Hi,

I am seeing a lot of flooding attempts over the past couple of days. Not sure why or where, hard to tell if it is orchestrated or not.

I have it under control when I spot it happening.

Cheers, Colin

Well done, seems to be turbo charged now

The homepage was always just a tad slower than any other page, might be worth caching it more aggressively

Hi all,

What are your thoughts on the bidders name being private during the auction, but revealed after the auction has finished? ie (Bidder1, Bidder2 etc)

 

[webber]

I like knowing who is bidding, it's transparent, it makes it a bit more personal and reinforces the community – we are a small bunch after all.
But this probably prevents some auctions from reaching their true potential, because when you see certain bidders you know you have no change.
Just my thoughts...

 

[bluerock]

I agree with the above. Its nice to see if you have a credible bidder.

@lazarus, are you aware your site is down again, seems to be happening a lot in the last couple of days.

 

[webber]

It definitely needs to be behind Cloudflare

 

[Jameso.0]

Yeah very slow to load for the last few days

 

[super-whois]

Must be all that traffic for cleanthemes.co.uk

@lazarus, are you aware your site is down again, seems to be happening a lot in the last couple of days.

Not down down, but very very slow to respond again (ie many seconds for a page load)
Been going on for the past few days, on and off, mostly during daytime. At night it seems to be better.
How can we help?

Maybe something useful here:

[lazarus]

Sorry about that folks, It's a constant battle with bad traffic. Hopefully it is running a lot smoother now

 

[webber]

I was surprised to see some of my auctions had reached £400 bids on the Acorn side widget:

Reusing the same variable in a loop without updating it?

voluntary donation

flip.uk/donations but I know what you mean and I agree a gentle reminder to make a donation might help. Maybe a reminder that puts it in some useful context eg: you sold x domains for £x,xxx in the past x months, would you like to help Flip by making a donation which will contribute to its running costs?
Might also help to show previous donations (kind of like this), tends to have a positive psychological impact.
