Oversee.net Buys Moniker

[whitebark]

I was about to move a bunch more adult names to trafficclub for the skenzo feed - what's going to happen here?

 

[fab]

DS were lettng their competitors walk all over them. I think the changes in DS and this are a sign that they're acknowledging this.

 

[Monte]

right now, Trafficclub will have both feeds and will get more options

why oh why...to help make the whole company better than ever....

no layoffs...we remain here in FL and are actually taking down more office space and expanding our team to address our growth.

the combination will be good for all three companies and we are going to be forced to fill our deficiencies, improve our services and service, and offer the best products and services on the market. there will be a transition period then you will see some immediate then long term improvements, enhancements, and more

and regarding the past disputes, it is obvious that we not only addressed those but have found a way to partner and work together to make our company great.

Monte,

In your own word, where should I park my domains DS or TC? No pressure, would like to get some details, maybe rev percent increase?

I already moved all to DS since I don't get any support from TC when some dead pages on my domains.

[Monte]

thewatcher...you can stay at DS but TC will be a great option as well due to the way it works.

no pressure

Thank you.

I concur with this statement 100%!

And I dropped DomainSponsor years ago.

Monte, why oh why...

Edit: The bad customer support came from pool, not snap.

Sorry for the misunderstanding

 

[PRED]

this is bad news imo
big moniker fan, but the family feel will go.
i just hope Monte doesn't disappear into sunset in a year or two

on a sidenote, i know the guy who owns oversee.net has built up quite an empire but why did he choose that domain. its a shocker uke:

 

[Domainster]

Any idea what the purchase price was for Moniker ?

Wasn't the overseer in the GhostBusters movie?

Or was that the Gate Keeper?

Oops...TM, TM, TM.

Happened sooner than I thought -- though I expect to see more movement regarding parking.

Predictions for 2008:

Cant say I seen that coming.,

DomainTools.com is next.
I think their auction is dead and has no chance of recovering, which also detracts from their conference and makes a good timing for aquizition.

 

[Alan Glennon]

Good call. Jay W's Name Intelligence, Inc. is a natural fit for many other larger domain companies.

DomainTools.com is next.

 

[dnalias]

should be an interesting year, especially once NameMedia goes public.

they will have a bunch of cash and will probably go on a buying spree.

leasethis
domaincapital.
domaintools
any and all registrars are subject to takeovers.
etc,

when will netsol be on sale, and who will purchase them?

 

[Alan Glennon]

...closed...

 

[Dave Zan]

when will netsol be on sale, and who will purchase them?

Netsol was acquired by General Atlantic last February, supposedly for $800m.

What can I say, Monte, except good luck on the move. It'll definitely be quite
interesting to say the least.

I wonder should this change mean that Moniker may start paying on-time for Trafficclub parking? DS is much more accurate with payments. As for trafficclub, for example I did not yet receive the wire for October which was supposed to be processed on or about December 10th last year.

 

[DNWizardX9]

leasethis is popular?

check jay's blog

When do you think that will happen? I think its a great investment, lots of revenue, little overhead etc..

He's probably there now on a nice vacation but hopefully he's planning to come back. I can see him now, posting on a beach in the Bahamas, or in the 'Bridge Suite' at Atlantis... :lol::smilewinkgrin:

More consolidation is possible, but hopefully they keep the jobs here in the US (looks like Moniker is actually expanding in the US from this). We don't need to lose these jobs to a foreign country (it's already bad enough having someone on the opposite side of the world claiming to know how the wireless network is in my area, 'No dead spots on 95 in Delray!" (Bull)).

GL Moniker with the new funding. Too bad I'm most likely way too under qualified to work for a registrar right now.
