SnapNames

A domain backorder and drop-catching service that auctions expiring domains among competing backorders.

SnapNames is a domain backorder and auction service that specializes in catching expiring domains. It competes directly with NameJet and DropCatch. SnapNames uses fast drop-catching infrastructure to attempt to register domains at the exact moment they expire. If multiple users place backorders for the same domain, it goes to a private auction. SnapNames is part of the Web.com family of domain services.
