Uniregistry, Corp. and its subsidiaries (Uniregistry) are preparing for the sale of their registrar, domain name brokerage, and parking businesses and related operations and assets to GoDaddy Operating Company, LLC and/or one or more of its affiliates (GoDaddy).
As part of this transaction, we will transfer, assign, and novate ("Transfer") your customer contract with Uniregistry to GoDaddy, which shall remain in full force and effect from and after the Transfer to GoDaddy.
Pursuant to this Transfer of your customer contract, we will also Transfer your data and information to GoDaddy Online Services Cayman Islands Ltd., with a registered address at c/o Mourant Governance Services (Cayman) Limited, 94 Solaris Avenue, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, Cayman Islands, which will become the new data controller for your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation. This means that your information will be processed and further shared by GoDaddy Online Services Cayman Islands in a similar way as Uniregistry does.
"This is saying (while using fancy words like 'novate') that your contract with Uniregistry will be transferred to GoDaddy on or about April 8, 2020. At that point, your experience won't change much. Neither will your pricing. So, to recap, for the foreseeable future, you'll have the same awesome experience, same incredible customer service and affordability you're used to, but you'll be technically paying GoDaddy for providing the services."
 
Wow, did not see that coming - guess the nGTLDs strategy didn't go well?
 
The Cayman Islands...Big Company...sounds like someone needs to pay less taxes.
 
If they could revamp afternic with uni layout it would be perfect honestly
 
I really wished Uniregistry would have balked on this deal.

With Uniregistry there were no upsells, their GUI was almost perfect for Domain Name Investors, privacy was included, and their price was right.

With G0daddy, you get the complete opposite.

Constant upsells
Privacy is another ridiculous upsell
You must join their domain club "subscription based" to get the better pricing
Their system is rigged to catch you slipping on the upsells

I may have to start my OWN registrar if this continues

In the meantime, I'm brushing the dust off of my NameSilo, and Internetbs accounts
 
He means for how much money did they buy it.

GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) today announced it is acquiring Uniregistry’s domain registrar and marketplace businesses. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. The deal is expected to close sometime in Q2 2020. The Uniregistry domain registry backend and New gTLDs are not part of the transaction. In addition to the registrar and marketplace, GoDaddy[/QUOTE
