Deals with two Chinese domain marketplaces — SnapNames strikes

Deals with Dnbiz and NameRich give firm access to Chinese domain buyers and sellers.

It seems that the big domain aftermarket players are setting their sights on China.

SnapNames disclosed two partnerships this morning with Chinese domain name marketplaces.

A deal with Dnbiz will give the firm access to the Yumi.com distribution network. The Yumi.com network has over five million domain names.

The other deal is with NameRich, another Chinese domain marketplace.

Other domain sales platforms have been paying increased attention to China as well. Afternic just disclosed a deal with China’s largest domain registrar, HiChina. Based on Reglike analysis of Afternic sales, the HiChina partnership seems to be delivering a good quantity of domain sales.
