Sedo. com Announces Partnership with Name. com

Sedo. com Announces Partnership with Name. com

Sedo. com and Name. com teamed up to help customers find the exact domain name they are looking for.

Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) April 1, 2006

Sedo. com the world’s leading domain marketplace, just teamed up with name. com, a prominent domain name registration company. Sedo. com is a domain marketplace where domain buyers and sellers can negotiate for domain names on the secondary market in a secure marketplace. Name. com is the premier domain registrar for a variety of tlds. Now when an interested party searches for a particular name that is no longer available for registration there will be a link to Sedo so that the party can make an offer through Sedo’s marketplace where the domain is listed for sale.

This integration will not only increase renewals and new registrations for name. com but also provide their customers with greater convenience by providing them with more information on how they can acquire a domain that is no longer available through their registration service. This will also increase customer satisfaction and therefore loyalty. Sedo. com hopes to increase the number of domain sales but also benefits from the greater awareness this integration will bring to the secondary domain name market.

“It was obvious that Name. com is leading a charge to become a one-stop shop for all domain needs including new registrations, email packages, as well as digital brand management and protection. Its only fitting that users can now search for pre-registered domains right on Name. com, thereby accommodating all clients’ needs. While Name. com’s renewal rates are already healthy, we enjoy the fact that integrating Sedo’s secondary-market domains in domain search results is statistically proven to significantly boost renewal rates.” Says Jude Augusta, Sedo’s Director of Partner Development.

Both parties are equally excited about the prospects this partnership brings. “I can’t think of a better partner than Sedo” noted Bill Mushkin, CEO of Name. com. “We love their worldwide reach. Their aftermarket domain inventory is incredible and our direct access to that inventory provides our customers with a great domain purchasing experience. This partnership, along with our ability to provide customers with online purchasing of over 60 domain extensions, gives our clients an unparalleled domain buying experience.”
