Sedo, the leading online domain marketplace and monetization provider, today announced an expansion of its partnership with registrar directNIC.com, a leading full-service ICANN-accredited registrar. The expansion of directNIC.com’s SedoMLS integration allows any seller registered with directNIC.com to list their domain names in the SedoMLS Premium network, increasing their chances of making a sale. DirectNIC.com already enables end users to search for names in the SedoMLS network and purchase them directly at their website.
“By becoming a full SedoMLS Premium partner, directNIC.com offers customers registered with us every opportunity to sell more names, and to find and purchase the domains they want, with just a few clicks of the mouse,” said Michael Ward, Chief Operating Officer of directNIC.com. “We are excited to grow our partnership with Sedo, and in the process, to provide our customers with the necessary tools to manage their domain portfolios.”
Developed exclusively for registrar partners, the SedoMLS Premium network provides domain sellers with an additional sales channel by placing their domain names in front of end users searching for names at their registrar. Registrar partners can also offer more choices for their end user customers, as well as the opportunity to list their domains for sale throughout the entire SedoMLS Promotion Network.
“It is great to see directNIC.com integrate full SedoMLS Premium functionality,” said Tim Schumacher, CEO of Sedo. “By integrating fully with the SedoMLS network, domain sellers have access to the largest number of potential buyers globally, and are distributed through millions of additional searches at our partners’ sites. With this expansion of our partnership, directNIC.com can offer both end users and their existing customers more options for buying and selling domain names.”
