Yesterday afternoon, I had a tough time visiting NameJet’s website. It seemed that every time I tried to visit an auction page or my control panel, I saw an error message. I frequently saw that NameJet Maintenance landing page, which I asked others about on Twitter:

I heard from others who had the same issues accessing auctions yesterday afternoon. Later on in the day, NameJet’s sister platform, SnapNames, posted an update about the issues on Twitter:
We are aware auctions on our platform were impacted today by a technical issue. We apologize for any difficulties our customers experienced. We will be extending the ending date and time of the impacted auctions and all participants will be notified.

I can see that many auctions in which I was a participant have been extended to end today. There is a notice on the top of my account page:
High profile names in the Thought Convergence auction have been extended to end today. Aftermarket.com (high bid of $260,001), Threat.com (high bid of $176,000), Beer.com (high bid of $2,250,000 – reserve not yet met), and quite a few others have been extended to close this afternoon.
In addition to these private domain name auctions, some expiry auctions have also been extended. Nue.com (high bid of $73,000) and VIPs.com (high bid of $81,000) were extended to this afternoon.
Hopefully the technical difficulties have been remedied and today’s auctions close without issue.
“NameJet Impacted by Technical Difficulties”
too bad they can’t fly the open friendly skies
The year is coming to an end but there are a couple of mysteries in the domaining world
-where is the person that runs Voodoo?
-where is morgan linton? his blog is not in the domaining aggregate
– did anybody from epik go to jail? my info at epik got pawned
-nobody is yakking about apes or some useless digital arts…worthless
-where are those bloggers that are gone??
The dramas in the domaining world is becoming lackluster
What happen to Voodoo.com? I have some clicks revenue from them. I sent them emails thru their website; support ticket was created but voodoo.com never answer.
I just received this email:
