NameMedia's
AfternicDLS
just significantly
expanded the reach of their aftermarket sales
platform by signing a strategic partnership agreement
with one of the world's top registrars, |
|
Directnic.com.
Those who visit directNIC to search for a new domain to
register will now also be offered a broad selection of
existing domains, including those that the current owners
have listed for sale through the AfternicDLS.
Jim
Macallum, Technical Officer of directNIC, Ltd. said,
“through this new partnership, directNIC will now have
more than two million business oriented domain
names available for purchase.”

that the AfternicDLS
membership will have the opportunity to list domains for
sale with one the world’s leading registrars.

Could you use an
extra $1,000 in pocket money? Then you
might want to enter a contest PremiumDomains.com
is currently running in an effort to find a new
slogan for the company. A catchy slogan is
needed to help make people aware that the site has
been re-launched as a sales platform for
premium domain names, |
|
|
including some very
nice one-word .coms. The contest runs through the
end of this month when owner Francois Carillo
(who also operates the popular news aggregation
site, Domaining.com)
will make his choice from the slogans enter and
reward the winner with a cool $1,000. |
