Email promotion puts your AfternicDLS domains in the spotlight.
If you have domains on AfternicDLS at the Premium level, your domains might be getting a bit more attention in a promotion right now.
Just minutes ago I received an email pitch from Network Solutions for a premium domain similar to an existing domain I have registered at Network Solutions:
The domain name offered for sale is the .org equivalent of a .com I own.
The email advertisement tells me I can buy the .org premium domain either online through Network Solutions or by calling them. The sale would, of course, be handled through the AfternicDLS system.
Although buying a .org when I own a .com isn’t the easiest pitch, many of these emails will pitch the inverse. That’s great news for people who have listed domains for sale on Afternic. Say you have a .com domain and someone registered the .net at Network Solutions. The .net owner is probably getting a similar email promoting your domain available for sale.
(As a side note, they might actually be getting five of those email pitches. That’s how many consecutive ones have just landed in my inbox for the same domain. Network Solutions must have some sort of glitch.)

For some reason, i keep getting the email over and over again concerning one domain. Duplicate emails to my GMail account says they might have a bug in THEIR auto email system. This might just be the beta stage though.

X says
The funny thing is that they offered me all .com’s I own:) Like: domain you own: sample.com / available premium domain name: sample.com
Andrew Allemann says
@ X – whoops, that sucks.

someone just told me my Network Solutions hosted website is down and now I can’t log in to their website as a user
Adam says
If a domainer sent that same email we’d all call them a spammer.
Andrew Allemann says
@ Adam – but they have a customer relationship.

they should consider sending cctlds available domains , or sales lists too in email 🙂
