Expired Domains, Free Credits and Record Sales

Expired Domains
Over time, some of the domains listed on Netfleet will expire. These domains obviously have some value (after all someone originally thought to register them) and so rather than let them sit unloved for years before they get re-registered, we thought we’d let you know which are available to register right now.

We’ve also appended our internal valuation to the domains to give you a better idea of their worth. So, feel free to scan through the list and snap up any domains that take your fancy with your favourite registrar.

To have a browse through the list, please go to our new Expired Domains report.

Refer a Friend and Earn Free Credits
Maybe you know someone who holds an Australian domain or two and may be keen to see what they are worth? If so, now is the perfect time to introduce them to Netfleet and possibly help them connect with a buyer and collect a suitable financial reward.

For the remainder of the month of August, for any new members of Netfleet that you refer who list at least one domain for sale, you’ll get 300 credits added to your account for use with our Premium Listing Features. Additionally, you’ll get an extra 20 credits for each subsequent domain they add during the month of August. For example, you introduce John who signs up with Netfleet and lists 20 domains. The following week he lists a further 50 domains. At the end of August, we’ll automatically credit your account with 300 + 70 x 20 = 1700 Netfleet Credits.

Referring is simple – just tell them to use your Netfleet username as the Promo Code when signing up. Please note that referrals must enter your username at the time of first signup – no credits will be added if referral source is claimed afterwards. Referrals must sign up for brand new and unique accounts (IP’s will be checked) and must be the registrant of all added domains.

Sales data from Netfleet June 08 – July 09

Domain owners who have been forced to be very patient earlier in the year are now starting to connect with buyers in ever increasing numbers. June saw an out and out record for sales volume (by a huge factor) and July took the record for monthly sale value through Netfleet. August is projected to again break at least one of those records.

What does this mean? We believe it indicates the critical mass of listed domains and visitors to really make Netfleet a vibrant and viable marketplace has been reached. The addition of our promo options in June also helped stimulate activity but above all it’s been the steadily increasing traffic month after month which has brought buyers and sellers together. However this is really just the beginning – over the next few months expect to see things improve even more by several factors.

Thanks for reading, and keep on domaining!
