There has never been a better time to build your portfolio – don’t forget our Auctions run every single day – and that includes Christmas Day.

This year, we launched our public facing registrar system, and finally we were able to manage your domain names for you. “Built by domainers – for domainers” probably best describes our platform, and we have paid a huge amount of attention to bulk/mass functionality to cater for large domain portfolio owners – with bulk renewals, transfers, change of registrants, name server updates, and many other tools.

What’s more, our renewal rate for domain names is just $18.43 inc GST. These features have helped make us the Number 1 registrar in Australia for inbound transfers.

Transferring to a different registrar in Australia is free – so to see what all the hype is about, and transfer your domains to Netfleet.

Another big change for us was the overhaul of our site, with a fresh new design and some important sales process changes. The design was created with simplicity in mind, to help attract new retail buyers to your domain names for sale. We’ve cut back on complication, and streamlined our sign up process which has seen a significant increase in new clients, helping us to record just fewer than 17,000 registered buyers and sellers. So welcome to clients new and old!

The biggest change to our sales process was the merging of our expired domain auction (both Australia and New Zealand), and our aftermarket auction in to the one platform. This means buyer focus is no longer diluted between the three, and all eyes are on the one auction platform, which ends every day at 2pm AEDT. This change has been quite dramatic and has more than doubled the number of sales per day, increased the average price by 40% with the total turnover per day quadrupling! So what are you waiting for?
