Afternic announced their partnership with Directi, the largest domain registrar in Asia and seventh-largest registrar in the world. Directi will join the Afternic reseller network as a Premium Partner, incorporating Afternic’s vast inventory of premium domains for sale through their BigRock brand.
This exclusive relationship brings premium domains to India for the first time, opening up new domain options for small to medium size business owners and domain investors across the globe. The entire Afternic portfolio of six million premium domain names will be available to BigRock customers, many of which are eligible for immediate ownership through Afternic’s Fast Transfer network.
“Welcoming Directi to the Afternic platform is a watershed moment for us, given their strength and size in the domain industry,” said Jason Miner, Chief Operating Officer for Afternic. “With nearly all of the top 20 domain registrars signed to the Afternic network and offering premium domains to their customers, we are delivering on our mission to create the only true global premium domain marketplace.”
Bhavin Turakhia, founder of BigRock said of the partnership, “We’re excited that our customers now have access to Afternic’s premium domain listings directly from the BigRock platform. The quality and size of Afternic’s inventory will improve the experience for our customers and give them a greater range of choices in their domain research and selection process.”
Afternic’s premium domains will be available to Directi’s ResellerClub and LogicBoxes resellers in the near future.
