We had huge interest in the competition – including some weird and wonderful and often amusing entries – ranging from 0 domains, up to  the dizzy heights of 600,000 domains!

We want to thank everyone who entered.   It was surprising how many of you were so close, however there can be only one winner.    Two people guessed the same number of domains, however one was submitted first, and as per our rules, takes the prize.

So to refresh your memory the question was:

How many domains has Netfleet.com.au sold since it’s launch in July 2008?

And the answer is………… 20,763 domains!

And the winner is…………. Morgan Payne with a superb guess just one hour from launching of 21,000 on 23rd April 13:54 via Twitter!

Thanks again to all that entered, better luck next time, and congratulations Morgan!

Thanks

According to Google the exact search phrase “home loan calculator” is searched for in Australia 33,100 times a month.  Meaning it sold for basically $1 for every monthly search, which looks like a fantastic deal when you consider that a click for this very competitive search term is worth about $5,65.

It is worth remembering that with expired domains the buyer only had 24 hours to made a decision and to get involved so the true market value of a domain like this is actually much higher.

You’ll notice on the Snapper Auctions page each domain now has a hyperlink to a single page view. This shows the domain broken down in to it’s simplest view, whilst having all the information you would ever require, just a short click away on the same page.

A big change for this view is fixed bidding. Traditionally, all bids were proxy/automatic bids on our Snapper Auctions, however in the single domain view, it is now fixed bids – the price you enter will be a fixed bid on the domain. Read about Bids and Offers on Netfleet.

We hope this new feature and view works well for seasoned domain investors and new comers alike

Netfleet was pleased to snap this domain for our client. It will be interesting to see what they do with this domain name as it is a fiercely competitive keyword. Today the top ranking domain for the keyword “creditcards” at google.com.au is credit-cards.net.au outranking creditcard.com.au by three places, showing that “com” is not always king.

Since the tightening up of our systems this morning, we have removed the ability to login via your username, and reset all passwords.

Instead, please login using your email address and password. Furthermore, as per email this morning to all clients, your passwords have been reset so please check your email for the new password.

If you are still having difficulty, please try resetting your password again here

If you have any problems, please get in touch

As per previous email communication to all clients earlier today, there was a security breach of our database at Netfleet.

Since learning of the intrusion, we took Netfleet.com.au offline and have been taking steps to address the vulnerability that led to this incident. We have been cooperating with the AFP and Cert Australia conducting an exhaustive investigation in this matter.

We have since found the source of the vulnerability in the 3rd party software used, and applied a permanent fix.

Furthermore, we have taken additional security measures beyond this intrusion. We have rebuilt the server from the ground up, ensuring that no malicious data or files are present on our new server, and we have reset all client passwords on Netfleet.com.au.

We are still, and will continue to, work with the relevant authorities investigating this breach.

Again, we would like to stress that we are erring on the side of caution and, there is no need to be unduly alarmed as it is in fact only a very remote possibility that your details have been accessed. Furthermore, if you have any questions or concerns whatsoever, do not hesitate to get in touch

Best wishes,
The Netfleet Team

Netfleet.com.au will be unavailable on the Saturday 21st January from 9pm for maintenance, and we anticipate we should be back online at 2am at the latest

Thanks

One of the most effective ways to sell a domain name is to advertise on your website directly, and our parking solution provides just this. The service is completely free, and domains parked with Netfleet will show a a simple for sale page, with enquiry form, and the ability to buyers to contact you directly from your domain name, or direct buyers straight to your listing on Netfleet. Set up is fast and simple, and you’re new for sale page will be up and running in no time.

Full details on this new service can be found here:

The only prerequisite is your domain name should be listed for sale on Netfleet, in order that we can direct sales inquiries to you.

As ever, feedback most welcome,

Thanks

Once a domain name is snapped, the domain will point to this landing page using Netfleet name servers automatically, whereby visitors will be given an explanation of the page, and the ability to register an interest in the domain name, and make an unsolicited offer for the domain.

Upon receiving an offer via this method, you will be notified and can decide whether to respond.

To see an example of this page in action, please click the following link:

http://100milecafe.com.au/

Of course, you can change the default name servers for your snapped domains any time you wish, by changing the name servers in the Members Area under Account Information

Please note, this is live now and will take effect on all future snapped domain names. Furthermore, as this is an initiative from Netfleet, this is no way implies that you have registered this domain name for the sole purpose of resale.

As always, we appreciate any feedback you have on this latest development

Best wishes,
The Netfleet Team
