SnapNames rolling out fresh features counting auto-delete backorders

SnapNames rolling out fresh features counting auto-delete backorders

One of these features will reduce headaches.

Picture of clock with words "expired domains"

SnapNames is rolling out fresh features next week that ought to be well-received by domain name investors.

One of the best features is auto-deletion of backordered domains you don’t win. As a domain investor, it’s frustrating to have hundreds of dormant backorders in your account from domains that you didn’t win at auction. Now, clients can select an option that will automatically cancel the backorders rather than having to manually delete them.

Another feature is a Verified Bidder program that will allow fresh or dormant accounts to increase the amount they can bid and have unlimited bidding privileges.

SnapNames will also release fresh daily notes, such as domains of a specific length.

I received an email from SnapNames today regarding the fresh features, which will be implemented March 20. Some of these features exist on NameJet by now. Others (such as auto-deletion) are being implemented on SnapNames first.
