Afternic.com Announces Partnership With Dotster
Market Wire, January, 2006
Afternic.com, a recognized leader in the aftermarket domain name industry, today announced it has added Dotster, Inc., one of the largest ICANN-accredited domain name registrars in the world, to its growing stable of partner domain name registrars.
"Through this new partnership, we aim to help Dotster increase customer satisfaction and broaden its customer base by allowing visitors to its site find the Afternic-listed name they want from a search on Dotster," said Afternic President and CEO Roger Collins. "In addition, we expect that the partnership will expand our customer base."
Collins explained that Dotster is employing Afternic's application program interface (API), a set of protocols and software development tools that allow it to show Afternic listings on results pages of Dotster searches. This lets Dotster customers obtain Afternic names and prices easily and quickly.
"As an aggressive, growth-oriented registrar, our partnership with Afternic is a good fit for the next phase of our development, and an effective way for us to expand our domain name aftermarket," said Dotster CEO Clint Page. "As Internet use continues to explode worldwide, we think offering the domain name aftermarket offers great potential."
