Which firm is most innovative in selling domains?

Four old names and a fresh one on this year’s list.

Which firm is most innovative when it comes to selling domains in the aftermarket?

1,152 people shared their thoughts on this question in Reglike’s annual survey.

In first place is Sedo, capturing 37% of the vote.

Next up is GoDaddy at 27%. The firm has steadily marched up the charts in this category as more and more domainers find ways to both buy and sell on its auction platform.

A fresh entrant into the list this year is DomainNameSales.com, which is interconnected with Frank Schilling’s InternetTraffic.com parking platform. It snagged 8% of the vote.

In fourth place is NameMedia with 6%. Rounding out the top 5 is the Domaining.com network.

The overall “best” online domain sales venue as stated by survey takers is Sedo.

I can think of a lot of reasons these firms can be described as innovative. Perhaps next year I’ll ask why when people answer this question in the survey.
