域名抢注服务:IntrustDomains.com

2011年12月21日 | 分类: 【域名】

有家被中国米农称为“信托”的域名抢注商(http://www.intrustdomains.com),属于域名抢注行业的后起之秀。IntrustDomains已超过27000名客户。订阅IntrustDomains,还可以得到即将过期域名的电子邮件。他的抢注效率有时显著高于snapnames、namejet、pool、name等老牌抢注商。

但“信托”有个特色:即使你预订了抢注成功后也不一定给你,他们会根据此域名在其它抢注商处被预订的情况来设置一个价格出售。如果在其它抢注商处预订的人很多,而且预订出价比较高,那么他们就会设置的价格高,谁愿意接受这个价格就可以购买,无论是否预订过。如果你早晨起不来,又担心域名被这家抢了去被其他人一口价拿走,我的建议就是你在其它抢注商处把预订价设置到你心理价的最高位!这当然不是预订域名的好办法,但应对那种你特别想拿的域名还是可行的。用高价来阻挡其它购买者。

有个与“信托”相关的域名投资成功案例发生于今年年中,域名Kefang.com 于6月25号到期被删除,被“信托”抢注到。抢注完成后2个小时内,即被国内一大佬以1999美金一口价拿到。五天后,该域名于名商网平台拍卖,最终以81000元高价,结束拍卖。Kefang.com 可理解为客房,是酒店预订类网站的绝佳域名;还可理解为珂芳,是商号、化妆品类最佳选择。

2011年年中,Epik(http://wwws.epik.com/)收购了“信托”。Epik创始人Rob Monster说明了他们此次收购,主要是为了域名资产管理提供服务,除了注册域名,还可以提供自动预定系统,在个人账户内也可以管理其他注册商注册的域名。

Epik has acquired domain name registrar IntrustDomains for an undisclosed account.

In a blog post, Epik founder Rob Monster explains that the acquisition will provide a number of services for managing your domain name assets. In addition to registering domain names, Epik customers will get access to a self-service backorder system. They will also be able to manage their domains at other registrars from within their account.
IntrustDomains has more than 27,000 clients.

If the name IntrustDomains rings a bell, its because you’ve likely received unsolicited email from them about an expiring domain name similar to one you own. When I googled “Intrust Domains this evening”, the first page doesn’t include a link to the site. It’s mostly filled with complaints about the company.

It certainly seems like an interesting acquisition, although Monster has clearly spelled out why he thinks it will be beneficial to his company.
