Dan.com alternative: what to use now that Dan is gone
GoDaddy shut Dan.com on 27 June 2025 and folded it into Afternic. What changed, what to do with a domain still delegated to ns1.dan.com, and how a page on your own domain compares.

Efty alternative: no subscription, no commission while in beta

-
Sedo alternative: a for-sale page you own
