Charley · Jul 4, 2008

The SnapNames® site will be unavailable on July 4, 2008 from 1:30AM until 9:30PM PST.

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.

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

I wonder if they are still catching domains.

Its the ICANN fee disclosure afteraffect? :o

Charley · Jul 6, 2008

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.

Adulu · Jul 6, 2008

Why site down, it has been a couple of days :yell:

homebuyer · Jul 6, 2008

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.

Networksolutions domains go to NameJet, not SnapNames.

Not that I can tell. They are clearly having serious issues. It looks like they might be down until the 8th by the message on their site.

Auctions that were scheduled to end on July 4th and July 5th Pacific will now end on July 8th.

I assume this will be updated again today adding the 6th to it.

MyNet-Tony · Jul 6, 2008

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.

I'm surprised that the end of domain tasting didn't result in a sudden attack of ethics for these auction sites.

I've no idea what is going on with Snapnames though.

I called them and it went to voicemail, so I left a message.

I'm not seeing any message on their site as per Yofie's post. I can only see the standard message saying they are "briefly unavailable"..Where is anyone seeing the other message(s) / announcements?

I also phoned Snapnames and just got through to voice-mail. There was no recorded announcement of site-outage.
