Snapnames faceing technical problems!

Posted by admin  Published in DropCatcher
Dear SnapNames Customers: As you may already be aware, the SnapNames service has been unavailable since Saturday evening, U.S. Pacific time.  Since then, our technical team has been working to restore service.  Our current estimate is for the service to be on line in the next 18 hours.  Should that estimate change, we will post an update at www.snapnames.com .  

We recognize this is the third outage for our service within the last several weeks.  The problem is related to one of our vendors’ systems, unfortunately, and our team has been working nonstop with the vendor to correct the issue.  

Outages of this nature and duration of course are very unusual for SnapNames; since we began our service in 2001, outages have been extremely rare and our record for technical service, customer care and integrity has been well regarded by our customers and partners.  It’s very important to us to maintain that confidence in our service and our team, and we’re working as quickly as we can to make sure the problem is resolved correctly. 

If you currently have bids placed for auctions that were scheduled to end Sunday or today, those names will now be scheduled to complete auctions tomorrow and Wednesday, respectively.  Again, if there is a change to that schedule, we will post a notice at the SnapNames site. 

In the meantime, should you have questions, please contact us here:

Technical Support:         support@snapnames.com

Telephone:                    1 800 385-4075 (toll-free in the U.S.)
      
+1 503-241-8547 (outside the U.S.) 

Our team is available during U.S. Pacific time business hours. 

Thank you again for your business, and please accept our apologies for this inconvenience. 

Sincerely, 

The SnapNames Team

NameJet Lowers Initial Bid Prices, Adds New Features

Posted by admin  Published in DropCatcher, Domain Sales, Domain Auctions

In an email sent out to customers today, NameJet announced lower initial bid prices, improvements and new features to their expiring domain name sales site. NameJet had received some early negative reviews for releasing a seemingly rushed version of the site and some unusual bugs and complaints are still being reported from time to time on forums. Many of the yet-to-be-added features such as displaying bidder IDs will be a welcome change to many who bid in the expiring domain after-market and build up trust in the marketplace.

Here is the email:

We appreciate your business and have listened to your comments and suggestions. Based on your feedback, we’ve recently made a number of enhancements to our Web site and bidding processes to make it even faster and easier for you to find, manage and bid on domain names.We’ve lowered the minimum bid price on all our domains! Minimum bid pricing will now start as low as $29 on some domains. Our Pre-Release, Pending Delete and Public Auction domains will have variable starting prices. Please note, if you already have a bid on a domain at our previous minimum bid amount of $70, NameJet will automatically adjust your bid to the new minimum bid amount.

Plus, bidding increments are now even more flexible. Instead of only having the option of bidding in increment amounts–$10 for auctions less than $1,000 or $100 for auctions greater than $1,000–you can now bid any amount over the $10 or $100 minimum bid needed. If you want to place a bid of $11, $12 or any whole dollar over the minimum bid increment, you now have the option to do so.

Visit our FAQs to learn more about the change in the bidding process: http://www.namejet.com/Pages/FAQ.aspx#bidding

In addition to the bid changes, we’ve recently made the following changes to assist you in getting the domain name you want:

* Advanced Search Improvements: Quickly drill down to the names you want — by extension, backorder date, number of characters, bid amount, and, of course, keywords.
* Faster Bulk Bidding: Bulk bid on up to 250 domain names at once in our quick and easy to use input format.
* Wish List Enhancement: Manage your backorder wish lists with a click to edit and delete your backorders.
* New Alert Emails: Let our names come to you with emails delivered daily that list our Most Active Backorders, names with 6 characters or less, or those with 7 to 9 characters.

And, more changes are on the way… here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming soon:

* Bidder Alias: You can assign a Bidder Alias to your account. Other bidders will see this alias during the auction rather than a generic name like “Bidder 1”.

* Bid History: Be able to view the history of bids for a specified domain.

* Auction List View: Set your account to either save or automatically remove previous auctions in which you were not the winning bidder.

* My Account Reports: We are upgrading the reports available to you with additional sorting and filtering.

We hope the changes we have made and our upcoming enhancements will assist you in winning auctions on the domain names you want from NameJet.

Sincerely,

NameJet Customer Support
