Companies in the News: GoDaddy, The AfternicDLS and LogicBoxes

We have several bits of news to pass along to you today. GoDaddy Auctions announced they're opened a new public "Closeouts" section to their sites. These are domains that have 

expired at GoDaddy that will be made available for $5 to $9 each, plus the cost of a one-year renewal. GoDaddy says that approximately 25,000 new domains are added to this list daily,

GoDaddy has offered similar closeout deals in the past but they were only available to registered site 

members. Now anyone can buy without taking a membership.  To help you keep up with new inventory, GoDaddy Auctions has also set up a Twitter account that announces "Daily Gems." To access those follow GoDaddy Auctions on Twitter.com @GoDaddyAuctions.

The AfternicDLS has scheduled another free webinar for April 29. The one-hour session will start at 2pm (U.S. Eastern time) and will cover how to "Increase Your Sales Velocity With Premium Promotion." You can register for the webinar here.

An Afternic DLS release announcing the webinar said their Premium Promotion program "significantly expands the audience of prospective buyers by placing domains on a distribution network that includes Register.com, Network Solutions and over a dozen more partners." The company said that participation in the program (which carries a higher sales commission fee than basic promotion) also gives you "access to a dedicated sales force that will act as your domain consultant."

Registrar and registry solutions provider LogicBoxes announced two free value added features for their clients today - a free 1 GB email account with every domain name registration and the launch of cPanel for Linux hosting. 

LogicBoxes CEO and Founder Bhavin Turakhia said, "Email is often seen as one of the most essential services, and this LogicBoxes release will help partners create a stickier customer base through the sale of free allied products. We want our partners to become a one-stop-shop for their customers’ every need and this is another step in providing the most comprehensive web offering.”

The LogicBoxes Linux hosting plan will now be available with the industry standard control panel, cPanel. Turakhia noted “cPanel is the most recognized and globally adopted control panel for Linux hosting. This upgrade will allow our partners to offer panels that their customers are comfortable navigating, while retaining our stellar price point of $2.49 monthly. It’s a win-win situation.”
