| I imagine that this is the case... they wouldnt stop people pouring more money in to the system. Their phone number is on the website, it would be interesting to get it confirmed. - Luke

| It happened few days ago as well, but I didn't bid on them, so not aware of what happened.

| I think SnapNames really needs to take this issue seriously and provide me a GENUINE solution. I have few domains that expired yesterday because I couldn't log into the site.

| Lost I was getting ready to log in to snapnames to buy one of their $9 domains (1 day remaining) when their site went down. Now the domain is showing enom in the whois. Again, I lost using snap a few weeks ago when I backordered a couple of names showing pendingrenewalordeletion in the nameserver. I always thought that that NS was networksolutions, which I thought went to snapnames. The next thing I new these domains were showing some guy in Hong Kong and a 2009 expiration date in the whois. I sure miss the days when we could count on first come, first served backorders. Backorders that meant something. |

| Thanks Snapnames. I was going to bid on a domain, but since you are down, ENOM got it. That's great customer service. Thanks a lot. Here's hoping it shows up on NameJet now. Thanks for nothing Snapnames.

As for the the auctions that were going on, I hope they will continue and not be released somehow (I was bidding on a very nice one with one other person). g- EDIT: Actually when I log out of manage.snapnames I get this msg as well...

| snap has always been fair about re-running auctions and extending auctions in our experience. they lose money when customers can't catch & bid, so it is reasonable to assume that this is some sort of tech glitch.
