their control within minutes.
Combined, these registrars
service millions of

to the AfternicDLS's global
domain marketplace.

inclusion of these major
registrars in DLS now gives
Afternic a presence across
Europe. This furthers the goal
of creating a unified and
efficient secondary market for
domains. By bringing value and
liquidity to the domain
aftermarket we are helping to
eliminate barriers to
sale—increasing returns for
domain sellers and better
meeting the needs of domain
buyers worldwide.” |
