Domains to be managed at NetworkSolutions — Some SnapNames-caught

Domains caught by SnapName’s own registrars will be managed through Network Solutions.

Here’s the first notable change as a result of Web.com acquiring expired domain marketplace SnapNames.

SnapNames disclosed today that domain names purchased through a SnapNames credential (i.e. registrar) will now be managed via Web.com registrar Network Solutions. Previously these names were managed by Moniker.

I can by now hear the collective groan from domainers not wanting domains at Network Solutions given the labor of transferring domains out.

The good news is that domainers will get discounted pricing on domains kept at Network Solutions that were purchased through SnapNames. .Com domains will renew at $9.59 per year. Although a bit pricier than some rivals, at least you won’t feel forced to transfer the domain out following one year to avoid a hefty renewal fee.
