Agreement allows leading European domain name services provider to increase its

already broad suite of service offerings

PORTLAND, Ore. - Domain name infrastructure technology developer SnapNames™ and WhoisPilot™, a European-based domain name services provider, announced a partnership agreement that will provide domain name back-ordering and monitoring services to WhoisPilot’s customer and membership base.

SnapNames’ patent-pending SnapBack™ back-ordering service, which has been integrated with WhoisPilot’s registration functionality, will provide WhoisPilot customers with the opportunity to monitor and potentially register any of the several million existing domain name registrations that will become available this year. The service also protects already registered names against accidental expiration or hijacking.

"Through our partnership with SnapNames, we are assured that our members are guaranteed to receive the highest level of domain name registration and support services possible," said WhoisPilot CEO Fabio Salvadori. "As the domain name industry continues to evolve, practical access to Internet identity assets is crucial for our customers, and SnapNames is the only company providing that access for all end-users.”

WhoisPilot provides a link to SnapNames that appears each time a user searches for a domain name that is already registered. This allows members to back-order the domain names that they would like to acquire. WhoisPilot also provides a subscription-based search tool that allows searches for about-to-expire names; results are prioritized by usefulness based on the rate of each name’s appearance in Internet search engines.
