The Moniker and Oversee “WedLock”
Posted on | January 3, 2008 | No Comments
I missed the news by about half an hour. Moniker and Oversee.net have now joined hands. Oversee’s acquisition of Moniker is huge news… Moniker is a really well known registrar and Oversee owns the infamous SnapNames.com.
Here are some plans now that they own Moniker:
- Deepening Moniker’s continuing commitment to its auction partners through the use of the SnapNames Live technology in Moniker-managed auctions
- The addition of DomainSponsor as an available option in Moniker’s TrafficClub monetization service
- Availability of Moniker’s registrar services for SnapNames and DomainSponsor customers
- Inclusion of traffic and monetization history as data for domain name auctions
- A complete set of Domain Asset Management services that offer domain owners all the tools necessary to profitably manage their domains
I think this is going to be a very interesting acquisition. Positive, Negative, Neutral? I think positive. Hopefully we can get rid of having to use registrars like 1hostkorea and crap when buying from SnapNames. It’s also going to be interesting to see what’s going to happen with the T.R.A.F.F.I.C auctions. SnapNames Live Auction + T.R.A.F.F.I.C? Maybe. 2008 is already proving to be an interesting year!
Here’s the e-mail:
To SnapNames Customers:
We’re contacting you with an update about Oversee.net, the parent company of SnapNames. Moniker and its TrafficClub program, well-known service providers in the domain name industry, have been acquired by Oversee.net.
This will not directly affect your participation at SnapNames. However, the combination of services and capabilities by Oversee, SnapNames and Moniker bring all customers a menu of services that support needs throughout the life cycle of a domain name, including procurement, monetization and sales. Watch for more information in the coming weeks about new services available to you. (….)
Sincerely,
Sudhir Bhagwan
CEO

Edit: Seems like everyone is interesting in finding out what’s going to happen with Moniker’s T.R.A.F.F.I.C auction!
