SwapNames is a newly launched free marketplace for trading domain names and websites.

With SwapNames, domain name owners can search out domains of interest, offer their own domains to swap, and receive barter offers from other domain owners. Additionally, the site acts as a domain name marketplace where users have the option of buying or selling valuable e-properties. All listings on SwapNames have both a fixed selling price and a trade value, which creates valuable exposure to easily market and sell or trade domains.

Presently, there are no open, ‘free-for-all’ marketplaces just for domain name barter trading. All other domain name marketplaces are either auction houses or ‘for sale listing’ sites. With the launch of SwapNames, the domain name industry now has its very own barter trading portal.

SwapNames was founded by a Malaysian-based domain investor and entrepreneur, Koay Al Vin. SwapNames, Inc was incorporated in Delaware, USA and operates from a tiny, but beautiful, island in Malaysia called Penang.

One other virtual property founded also by Koay is DNHour.com, another industry’s first. It is a DIGG-style domain industry news portal. Hour
