WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NameMedia today announced that Nadya Morozova has joined the team as its European Business Development Manager. Morozova will focus on the growth of NameMedia’s Afternic property, which includes the Domain Listing Service (DLS).
Based in London, Morozova is an Internet veteran: her past experience includes service as Director of Community Outreach for the .tel registry. “I am very excited to be joining the NameMedia family in a period of such extraordinary growth. Afternic’s Domain Listing Service is unifying the domain aftermarket, which is critical to the entire industry,” said Morozova.
The DLS currently boasts more than 70 partners, including 5 of the top 10 global registrars and is the world’s largest and fastest growing domain marketplace. Most recently Afternic announced that European registrars Dada, EuroDNS and GroupNBT have signed partnership agreements.
Afternic DLS’ European expansion offers domain owners consolidated access to tens of millions of prospective domain buyers and the ability to leverage unique “Instant Transfer” capability. This feature enables “one-click purchasing” for premium domains, bypassing lengthy escrow processes and making aftermarket domains more appealing to retail buyers.
“Nadya will be an asset to our partners and customers across Europe,” said NameMedia CEO Kelly Conlin. “This is a fast-growing market with savvy domain investors. We look forward to new partnerships across the continent that will create opportunities for both domain buyers and sellers.”
