Registrar is sending expired domains to GoDaddy — Another major

Endurance’s PDR is sending expired domain inventory to GoDaddy Auctions.

godaddy-fresh-logoIt looks like GoDaddy Auctions has picked up another major expired domain name partner.

I was searching expired domain names today and noticed many domain names registered at Public Domain Registry and BigRock in GoDaddy’s expired domain lists, e.g. loyaltymoney.com, tarabulusshiping.com and rippleleaf.com.

Both of these registrars were part of Directi and purchased by Endurance International. Endurance is generally considered the second biggest registrar in the world when you add up its many registrars. Public Domain Registry itself is right now ranked #6 for registrations at Webhosting.info. So far, I’m not seeing other Endurance registrars in GoDaddy’s expired lists.

Public Domain Registry previously sent its expired inventory to SnapNames.

In September, Tucows became the first third-party registrar to partner with GoDaddy for expired domain names.
