I noticed that “DirectNIC” is listed with both NameJet and SnapNames. Is this correct?

There’s an expiring domain I wish to obtain that is currently with “DirectNIC”. Do I need to backorder it with both auction house partners (NameJet and SnapNames), or is only one of them actually the partner.

I backordered it from NameJet and noticed that NameJet’s General Manager said they had an agreement with DirectNIC. Is this exclusive? I just wanted to know if I should also backorder with SnapNames as well, or if I should be good enough with just a NameJet backorder.

Thanks, in advance, for any info. :-)

  Hi Jeremy,
  
  I believe DirectNIC is partnered with NameJet. When I interviewed Matt Overman, GM of NameJet (http://www.domainsherpa.com/matt-overman-namejet-interview/), this was one part of the transcript:
  
  “Michael: Great, and we are going to talk about that private sale option, but you also have a fantastic amount of expiring domain names coming through your system. And I have got an article on DomainSherpa that I will link to that lists some of your auction partners, such as Directnic, eNom, and Network Solutions. Is there a reason why you get such great dropping domain names as well?”
  
  “Matt: Yeah, well, you touched on it. We do have a fantastic list of exclusive registrar partners that provide the bulk of the inventory that is sold on NameJet. So, those are exclusive to NameJet pre-released domains that get sold; we have a handful of great registrar partners.”
  
  I’ll reach out and verify. If you don’t hear from me, it’s NameJet. :)
  
  Best,
  Michael
