Down again 3:20pm, waiting for an auction to close and the site goes down again.

Shameful.

Apparently they are having ongoing problems so I would expect more outages without notice or explanation.

Down again.

REALLY REALLY bad.

No excuse for any company in this day and age to be down this many times in such a short period.

Something is rotten at the top. That’s all I can think of.

Sad really.

I actually made out from this outage. I had a drop that I had bid on. It was supposed to drop either Friday or Saturday. I can’t remember.

Anyway, I checked their website to see the status of my bid on Saturday and noticed the site was down. On Sunday the site was still down, but I had the thought to check whois to see the status. To my pleasant suprise, the name had been dropped. So I registered it for $9 instead of $59.

I love snapnames but this is shameful, unprofessional and unacceptable.

They are bleeding credibility.

Also, I see that namejet has picked up Fabulous.com as their exclusive seller now.

With outages like this, other registrars may think twice about giving snap an exclusive.

Too bad.
