Is it just me or every time you want to purchase a domain and don’t buy it immediately after looking it up, suddenly it’s unavailable 😑

It happens to me with airbnbs 🤔

Apparently iPage has been acquired by BlueHost and I was literally trying to check out, page went blank and now the domain is gone. But this has been happening a lot, I’ve noticed the past year or so, then suddenly you have to negotiate to buy the domain.

It’s just a new form of predatory pricing it seems, without breaking antitrust laws 🤔

Godaddy was notorious for doing that in the past, so they can resell it at a higher price. Not sure if it is still being practiced by them 🐶🐾🫡

Oh I seriously have that problem with them, but it seems to have gotten much worse now, Ipage is now Bluehost, literally two websites in one, front end is just a farce, two landing pages in 1… and check this out:

Yes, that f’ing Google🐶🐾😭😭😭

Just when you thought the internet couldn’t get more centralized, kill me now 😩🫠

No, they stopped that practice

I been a customer of their’s since literally last millennium, not always a happy one but never unhappy enough to move.

That’s good, that was one problem I had with them in the past and moved away 🐶🐾🫡

where do you search? people watch searches and the buy them. i always do inside AWS.
