Sedo.com Announces Partnership with Name.com; Agreement Provides Name.com Customers with One-click Access to Sedo's Three Million Secondary Domain Name Listings.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Sedo, the leading online marketplace for the buying and selling of domain names, and Name.com, a prominent domain name registration company, have teamed up to provide Name.com users the ability to instantly bid on Sedo's domain name listings. Now, when an interested party searches for a particular name that is no longer available for registration, there will be a link to Sedo.com if the domain is available for sale, allowing that party to make an offer through Sedo's marketplace.

This integration will not only increase renewals and new registrations for Name.com, but also provides 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. For Sedo, the partnership provides an additional sales channel and increases awareness for the secondary domain market to traditional consumers and businesses.

"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. It is only fitting that users can now search for pre-registered domains right on Name.com, thereby accommodating all clients' needs," said Jude Augusta, director of partner development for Sedo. "As other domain registrars have seen, while Name.com's renewal rates are already healthy, integrating Sedo's secondary-market domains in domain search results is statistically proven to significantly boost renewal rates."

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. Sedo's 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."
