SnapNames.com,
a pioneer in the domain drop
catching business, has some good
news for fans of .TV and .CC
domains. Following its recent
integration with with fellow drop
catching giant NameJet
for deleting inventory, SnapNames
has decided to devote more
of their resources to catching
expired .TV and .CC domains.

A
company press released noted, "Although
the fulfillment of backorders placed
on SnapNames for .CC and .TV domains
has always been possible, the rates
of acquisition were low compared to
other extensions. Now SnapNames has
dedicated a substantial amount of
resources to these extensions, and
one can expect a fulfillment rate on
par with the rest of the
deleting inventory."

As
industry veterans know, the
.CC domain extension is
technically the ccTLD
for the Cocos Islands (a
chain located off the
coast of Australia), but it
was re-purposed under a
licensing agreement to serve
as a globally available TLD
that anyone can
register. As a short
extension with memorable
repeating characters it has
gained favor among some
registrants and investors,
especially those in China. |

.TV
domains were also originally
launched as a ccTLD
serving the Pacific islands
of Tuvalu but the TLD
quickly caught the attention
of investors around the
globe for its obvious
connection to anything
related to television.
Like .CC it is also a
globally available TLD that
anyone can own. Websites
with video content have
naturally led the way in .TV
adoption with popular
streaming services like MLB.tv
among the most prominent
examples. |

SnapNames,
with its patented drop-catching
technology, has been acquiring names
on the Drop since 2001.
Recently, NameJet and SnapNames
joined forces and SnapNames started
powering the drop on NameJet, giving
customers a better chance at
acquiring backordered deleting
names, and being able to use
their platform of choice with an
integrated auction platform.
