September 28, 2012 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – The partnership between
Sedo and
Go Daddy has been expanded so the latter's customers can bid through the online domain market place via their account with the registrar.
Following the deal struck between the two in January 2012, which saw Go Daddy join the SedoMLS network, the latest development will also see the addition of Make Offer names to this distribution channel.
Director of Domain Name Aftermarkets for the US-based registrar, Paul Nicks, explained the benefits to be passed on to Go Daddy’s customers.
"Our customers are always looking for just the right domain name, which makes seamless access to the aftermarket extremely important."
"By expanding our partnership with Sedo and adding even more domain names to Go Daddy’s search results, we are helping our customers find and secure the best possible name."
SedoMLS boasts an inventory of over 16 million domains, and Go Daddy tops the 80-stong list of big names as one of the world’s largest registrars.
Tobias Flaitz, Sedo's CEO, also commented on the extension of the partnership, saying: "We're excited to be able to connect even more sellers and buyers across the world by expanding our partnership with the industry's leading registrar.
"Providing Go Daddy end users with the option to purchase Buy Now as well as Make Offer names is another way we are helping domain owners to reach more potential buyers, and to make more sales."
