Growing Registrar SAV.com Reaches
1 Million Domains Under Management
Just 2 Years After Launch
|
Only
43
of
the nearly 3,000 domain
registrars in business worldwide
have passed the 1 million
mark in domains under
management. Today
Anthos Chrysanthou, the
Founder & CEO of registrar and
domain marketplace SAV.com,
announced that his company has just
done it and it took them only
two years since they launched
to do it - a time frame few have
been able to match.
Chrysanthou
attributed Sav.com’s exponential
growth to offering features and
benefits that have resonated with
entrepreneurs, small businesses,
and domain investors. He
noted, "From the beginning
Sav.com’s mission was to remove
as much friction as possible
related to the buying and
selling of domain names. For
entrepreneurs and small
businesses, that meant providing
them with a marketplace containing
a wide selection of quality domain
names capable of helping them
quickly launch or expand their
online presence. We also
knew that competing with
established domain marketplaces
for quality inventory would not be
easy, so broke away from
traditional 20% marketplace
commission pricing practices by
charging domain sellers only a 4%
commission, with no hidden fees.
This innovative pricing model,
combined with a “For Sale”
landing page that is highly
optimized for conversions, quickly
attracted more and more sellers of
quality domain name inventory to
the Sav.com marketplace and
registrar."

Anthos
added, "It didn’t take long for the snowball effect to kick
in. New inventory of quality domain names attracted more retail
buyers, which then attracted more domain sellers, which then attracted more
retail buyers, and so on. Exponential growth and 1 million domains
under management was the result, with no signs of slowing."
To
further support growth, Sav.com also removed cost-related friction
for entrepreneurs, SMBs and domain investors by offering extremely low
domain registration and renewal rates. This is something I can
personally attest to. For simplicity's sake, I like to keep my domains
spread across as few registrars as possible and have for years now have been
using no more than 2 or 3 well established companies. However, after
watching SAV's growth I finally decided to add one more and opened an
account there in July. Less than 3 months later I've already registered over
100 domains at SAV and have found their clean, simple interface for
managing domains to be very easy to use. On the few occasions I've needed to
contact customer service, my experience in that area has also been good. I
haven't tried the company's other services yet but do know they offer free
WhoIs privacy, free SSL certificates and have also eliminated domain
backorder placement and fulfillment fees. When you take all of that into
consideration it is no wonder SAV has become a very popular choice.
