Our expiring names are still available at Snapnames.

Thank you for clearing that up Kellie. I was a little confused on the press release, but that makes sense.
Perhaps it’s just me, but I’m still confused. What does “We’re offering their catalog of aftermarket names on Name.com” mean? And if names listed on Afternic DLS (like mine) are not going to be listed on Name.com, then why should we care It would seem that someone’s private portfolio is going to be made available on name.com, in which case I’m not sure how that will help any of us domainers. But again, perhaps it’s just me who’s confused.

One of our goals is to provide the names our customers want. Now we’re exposing our retail customers to an additional channel of domains that are available for them to purchase.
For the best possible experience for those customers we’re only offering for sale those names which can be instantly transferred and managed via their Name.com account. I know there are some non BuyDomains/Afternic owned domains which have been purchased and transferred but I’ve not done a full analysis on this.
