Reach in China and Canada — Afternic extends

Firm signs four more partners for its domain name sales network.

GoDaddy’s Afternic has signed deals with four more firms to expand its sales distribution network.

Three of the firms — EJEE, eName, and Xiamen Nawang — will give domain names on the Afternic platform more exposure in China.

All of these firms will syndicate domain name listings on Afternic. Clients will be able to instantly purchase domains on Afternic that are eligible for Fast Transfer. EJEE clients will also be able to sell their domains through Afternic’s Fast Transfer system.

Afternic added HiChina back in 2012 and immediately saw an uplift in sales. This was ahead of China was the domain name powerhouse that it is today.

The other fresh partner is Webnames.ca, which is one of Canada’s earliest domain name registrars.
