Aftermarket Auctions Are Back!

Dear Friends, We are pleased to announce the long awaited relaunch of our popular Aftermarket Auctions platform on Netfleet. Quite different from our previous platform, we now have the ability to run multiple auctions at any one time. What’s more, is that each seller is given the option to choose their own, unique URL displaying only their domain names for sale. Sellers can also choose the length each domain name will run for. All auctions will feed in to our Aftermarket Auctions – Hot Domains as they approach the close of auction, plus we will include other ‘Hot Domains’ in […]

Q&A section for every domain name listing

Our latest development for Netfleet.com.au has just been released – a Questions & Answers Section for every Standard Domain Listing. All too often a buyer may have a question for the seller ahead of submitting an offer that isn’t covered in the listings description. The Q&A section on every listing allows you to ask any question surrounding the domain name, such as the traffic it receives, the revenue generated, or the age of the domain for example. The seller then has a few options when responding the buyer: a) Respond privately to the seller via email b) Respond publicly to […]

Snapper Past Results Are Back

Happy to say we’ve got a much requested feature back on Netfleet – the Snapper Past Results/History.

auDA removing 6 month rule!

In June 2008 auDA removed the prohibition on selling domains names, or effectively performing a change of registrant, and created the Transfers (Change of Registrant) Policy (2008-08). This was a great, and long overdue, step towards creating a legitimate domain name aftermarket whereby domain investors could buy and sell domains for any reason, albeit with a few provisions, such as prohibiting the sale of a domain name within 6 months of registering. As a result of the findings from a Secondary Market Working Group who discussed many aspects of the .AU secondary market recently, auDA has agreed that “The six […]

Facebook Like and Google +1 Your Listings

We’ve made a small tweak to the standard listings for sale page for every domain, and added in the ability to Facebook Like and Google +1 your listings. We have also updated the home page to include all those listings that have been recently Google +1’d or Facebook Liked! With the proliferation of social media being used to share information and push a message, we thought it important to provide this ability to recommend your domain name listings to people on Facebook, and across the Google empire. This will be a massive help in increasing the exposure your domain names […]

Two Huge Snapper Days – 28th and 29th June!

On the 28th and 29th June there is an exceptional list of domain names that are due to expire, and will be listed on our Domain Snapper Auctions. The following domain names are in pendingDelete status – which means auDA have instructed the registrar to delete the domain names due to a breach in policy by the registrant. Domain names in pendingDelete can sometimes be contested by the registrant, and un-deleted, however with these domain names this is highly unlikely. Due to the quality of these generic domain names, we wanted to give you a bit of advance notice and […]
