Is GoDaddy Ripping Off Our Geo Domain Name Tool?
If you have been a fan of our domain name tools for a while now then you are probably very familiar with our geo domain name tool. In fact, you have likely been using this tool for months. It now appears that GoDaddy is launching a tool in the near future that will be live on geo.godaddy.com and geodomainmap.com that appears to be spookily similar to our Geo Domain Name Tool.

What do you think?






Agree, really looks like a copy…
Just learned about your geo tool — it’s cool! Trying it out now…
Do you plan on contacting GoDaddy? Do I smell a lawsuit coming on?
There may potentially be some fireworks
No, they aren’t. Or are they? I’d be concerned about what you were saying if I knew who “John G” was and your domain name wasn’t hidden behind a proxy whois. Come ON!!!!
Will you post this comment knowing all my info isn’t real or is anonymous or a “proxy post’? If you don’t post it, your policies are hypocritical.
I’m only interested because I know of another entity who was saying this was happening to them about this Godaddy tool, a week before you posted this article. I thought you might be them… but you aren’t.
Hi “D. Proxy”,
Unfortunately you appear to be missing the fact that all of our contact information is on our about us page and contact us page just like almost any normal website:
http://www.domainsuperstar.com/about
http://www.domainsuperstar.com/contact-us
Typically the only people that use Who Is records to contact a domain owner are domainers wanting to buy the domain – and this domain isn’t for sale
