How DAN.COM will impact the domain buyers
Undeveloped.com brought a delivery time of purchase of a domain name average of 15 hours but it is not good.
The domains are digital goods that don’t need to be transported or shipping. Then why domain transactions are very low.
There are 3 reasons that are identified, they are.
Manual process
The manual domain transfer process does delays as everything needs to be done manually. This leads to mistakes and painful transactions. This also tends to make the process expensive. The more domains the more you need to carry out the domain process and spending of higher commissions.
Outdated process
In the domain industry, most of the processes are designed in the ’90s and early 2000. The companies operating process have become giants as their domains have demand. They dont have incentives or will to improve the processes.
The DAN.COM have taken an opportunity to improve it. They have an infrastructure that can transfer domains immediately and deliver a purchased domain to the buyer in just a minute.
They have dubbed the new model BaaS (Brands as a Service). One can purchase a domain from anywhere in the world without any fear with hundred percent secured transaction without taking time.
Registrars (the primary market)
All domains manage at a registrar. The registrars keeping the domain transfer lock-ins (10 to 60-day transfer locks) and outdated process. Registrars having most domains have manual ownership updates.
Due to the lock-in process, most of the domains are in the secondary market. only a few gets benefit out of it.
Lock-ins are also kept by the ICANN, a regulatory body. many registrars such as GoDaddy do that.
DAN.COM’s main aim is to create a standard which can be shared in the industry that is by its nature an open network. Closed networks must not be entertained.
