Am I the only one with repeated issues at Snapnames? I cannot have a smooth transaction there which is why I try to not play there. I am still fighting to get a domain I paid for 2 weeks ago. And there is no estimated time this will be resolved. Which is why the partnering of .club and snapnames was alarming to me. .club excellent, snapnames horrible…. I don’t get it.
What can I tell you… Snapnames has banned me because I complained.
oh boy…..I best shut my face…. haha
ABC.CLUB sold for 2k ? Good deal by Google
