Hi there,

Here's your Monday head start for a winning week ahead.

Here are the most interesting 5️⃣ domain tweets from last week.

Have a great week,
Mike

P.S. I publish my best posts and opinions in Cyger Says every Friday morning.

#1️⃣ Domain Pro

James Iles

@jamesiles

A cool new perk for Domain Pro members is coming.

Next week, Domain Pro members will get an email with their first $20 monthly Auctions credit. That'll repeat monthly.

We're stacking more into Domain Pro with more on the way!

GoDaddy Auctions

@godaddyauctions

Domain Pro members, this one's for you.

From November, we're piloting a new benefit: $20/month in GoDaddy Auctions credit!

Keep an eye on your inbox next week for your first code. 👀

It was worth it before, with just the discounted pricing and @DNAcademy tools.

Starting in November, it's a no-brainer.

#2️⃣ Something strange afoot

Adam Maysonet

@synozeer

I've noticed auctions on @NamecheapCEO that people have won but then are cancelled a day later and appear on Dropcatch. What's going on with those domains?

Something strange is going on at @Namecheap.

Not sure what it is, because it's hard to get the story straight from their team.

Just wanted to make sure you were aware, as you might have noticed something similar but not realized others are noticing it too.

#3️⃣ Interesting .com data

Amit Gupta

@Yibecoder

Yesterday’s data offers a clear snapshot of how active the .com space still is. Out of 75,702 clean .com drops (no numbers, no hyphens), 11,502 were registered within 12 hours a 15% pickup rate that suggests steady, sustained interest rather than hype.

About 9,500 of those names were caught almost instantly, showing that drop-catching systems and investors continue to prioritize .com over newer extensions when it comes to liquidity and familiarity.

The data highlights a fiercely competitive landscape, fueled by automated systems and investors racing to secure quality names the moment they drop. It underscores a clear trend: .com isn’t just maintaining its relevance it’s gaining momentum, attracting faster registrations and more focused attention than ever before..

Automated drop-catching is alive and well.

#4️⃣ Secret hack?

𝒟𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓀

@derkolstad

Godaddy doesn’t want you to know this secret hack. 🤫

If you want a domain (reg. on GoDaddy) but can’t find the owner and don’t want to pay a broker for outreach…

Do it for FREE + TRACK delivery:

1. Setup a free streak(.)com account

2. Add extension to Chrome or Safari

3. Compose a draft w/tracking on

4. For the recipient address, put:

“domain[email protected]”

Replace ‘domain’ with the one you want. (replace extension too if it’s a .co or alt)

That forwards to their primary Godaddy email address.

Streak tools in the sidebar will show if it’s been read.

@iamjasonlevin

"Your domain must have been expensive"

Fun fact: I bought our .com with my own money *BEFORE* I raised $3M

Here's how I landed our .com, how much it cost, AND why you should never trust GoDaddy brokers:

Not so much a secret hack, but good to know (or a good reminder).

🤣 Memes, please

Oren

@craftnames

Hey @atomHQ you left some white space on the page, we could probably fit at least 5-6 more status updates on there

Oct 20, 2025

We're running low on domain name memes.

Oren is funny as heck. Funny because it's true.

Now go make some memes so I can promote you in my next newsletter.

Did you enjoy this issue? YesNo
