The
AfternicDLS Goes Mobile and Nominations Now Being
Accepted for Annual T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Awards
|
The
AfternicDLS
has
become the first domain aftermarket venue to
roll out a mobile phone application that
allows buyers to search and bid for
domain names. The well-known marketplace
operated by NameMedia
can now be accessed on iPhones and iPads
through a new free app that is available
to download from Apple's App Store. The
application allows prospective domain buyers to
search an inventory that includes millions
of domain names listed for sale through the
domain listing service. Users will also be able
to download lists of available domains
based on custom searches.
Jason
Miner, the Senior Vice President and General
Manager of NameMedia’s marketplace, said, “By
embracing new technologies we extend the
reach of the DLS and better meet the changing
needs of our customers. As the world relies more
on handheld devices to do business, offering a
mobile application is a logical step in
improving access to our inventory. Both domain
sellers and buyers benefit if we are able to
connect supply and demand effectively."

AfternicDLS
Mobile follows in the footsteps of some
other technology advances at the company,
including instant transfer capabilities.
Instant transfer simplifies the purchase of
domains by eliminating the traditionally lengthy
escrow process, making names available for immediate
use by the buyer.
