Domain name brokerage Saw.com and NameSilo (CSE: URL) disclosed today that Saw.com is merging with NameSilo’s NameLot. The combination will give Saw.com a technology stack for selling more domains.

The firms by now had a sales partnership. Whenever someone searched for a name at NameSilo that was taken and asked the firm to help acquire the domain, that lead went to Saw.com. The firm calls this service “try to buy.”

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Saw.com CEO Jeffrey Gabriel told Reglike via email:

We have two firms that have come together with shared financial interests. Saw.com by now received all of the try to buy leads, and we are looking to enhance the product into a more seamless experience while we continue to roll it out to more registrars.

Kristaps Ronka, CEO of NameSilo, explained why the merger makes sense in a press release:

We built NameLot.com with a focus on the technology side but realized, relatively quickly, that what we lacked, was the expertise of the professionals who help take the domain name transaction from conversation to sale.
