Dan.com<\/strong><\/a> is a domain marketplace that in recent years propelled itself onto the top list of favorite platforms for domain investors.<\/p>\n

Domain sellers and buyers engage through its well-planned interface and exchange process of funds\/domain, making the process a cinch. After testing the Dan.com platform for a while, my first domain sale on Dan.com<\/strong><\/a> was almost for $20,000 dollars.<\/p>\n

Currently, I’m skeptical about how Dan.com will continue to retain this exceptional growth and independence, what with being acquired by GoDaddy.<\/strong><\/a> That being said, I’m still adding domains for sale on Dan.com, moving them away from the Uni Market.<\/p>\n

One of these recent addition attempts created a problem: the domain was already added<\/strong> on Dan.com by someone else.<\/p>\n

The domain in question is an ultra-premium LLLL .com I acquired more than a dozen years ago. I never added it to Dan.com before and it was always parked at either Sedo or the Uni Market. Therefore, I assume that someone added it to Dan.com illegitimately.<\/p>\n

Can someone else add your “for sale” domain on Dan.com?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once I changed the domain’s DNS to Dan.com nameservers, the domain was resolving; the page’s lander was the typical Dan.com page and on that page the supposed seller’s profile was linked to their other domains for sale on Dan.com.<\/p>\n

Our guy has listed a whopping 13,753 four letter .com<\/strong> domains on Dan.com, or about 3% of the available namespace! It’s clear that the list is not legitimate and I’ll be reaching out to Dan.com support about this.<\/p>\n

How did I resolve the issue and added my domain to my portfolio at Dan.com?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had to go to my account Settings<\/em>, then click on Ownership<\/em>, and enabled the top option that automates domain ownership via the use of nameservers. Then, having selected the “Verification via .hosting tld” option, I copied that long DNS setting and added it as my third nameserver at my domain’s settings at the Registrar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is one more option under that Dan.com setting, “Verification via .hn tld” and a separate option to add a TXT record to your domain’s DNS. The latter is useful if you host the domain on a server, perhaps displaying a custom lander.<\/p>\n

Overall, it took very little to overcome this domain ownership issue at Dan.com and I hope that others that may have the same problem can quickly resolve it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
