To SnapNames Customers:

I'm writing to inform you that SnapNames has agreed to be acquired by Oversee.net. Oversee, a company already familiar to many in the domain name industry, is a technology-driven online marketing solutions company that offers an impressive array of services to domain name owners. You can learn more about the company at www.oversee.net.

not sure how good this move will be - oversee.net support has been horrible by our experiences...

Brujah · 05-31-2007, 05:13 PM

Good for them. Bad for us probably.

Juilan · 05-31-2007, 05:25 PM

Maybe now aquired auction domains will all go to one registrar instead of 20 million different ones scattered across the earth.

CaptainHowdy · 05-31-2007, 05:35 PM

Thanks for the heads up...

Screaming · 05-31-2007, 05:36 PM

man, that could fuck up a good thing

"technology-driven online marketing solutions company"

Holy fuck, did they get that off of some generic dot-com phrase generator?

Daruma · 05-31-2007, 05:40 PM

the whole letter..
just don't see how this is going to be good - we moved thousands of domains away from domainsponsor because of shitty support.. like send multiple emails or leave phn calls and never get a response... only time will tell if this is a boom or bust..

Oversee, a company already familiar to many in the domain name industry, is a technology-driven online marketing solutions company that offers an impressive array of services to domain name owners. You can learn more about the company at www.oversee.net.

It's important that you understand there will be no changes to the way SnapNames provides its services. This is a combination of two industry leaders with outstanding reputations for serving domain name investors and customers at all levels.

We were attracted to Oversee for many reasons, including the opportunity to offer SnapNames customers a greater breadth of service offerings. Together, the two companies can provide services that support our customers' needs throughout the entire life cycle of a domain name, including procurement, monetization and sales.

This transaction is expected to close in mid-June. There is more information available on our Web site at www.snapnames.com. Of course, we're always available to assist you in any way we can, and encourage your questions and comments. Our support team is available to you here:

Sucks fucking ass

Who knows how this one will turn out.

I see the consolidation of the domain reg/auction/backordering companies as a good thing. There's too many.
