Fresh GoDaddy domain listing wizard generates 350k aftermarket listings
Firm introduced tool that enables its typical client to list domains for sale.
GoDaddy recently made listing domains for sale easier for all of its clients, not just domain name investors. Clients who have unused domain names in their accounts can walk through a wizard to list their domains for sale through the firm’s GoDaddy network.
On the prior week’s investor conference call, GoDaddy CEO Aman Bhutani stated:
Our fresh list for sale tool has also seen an incredible first inning. This tool lets clients with unused domain names list them in our aftermarket and in just three months we’ve seen over 350,000 domains get listed.
I reached out to GoDaddy for more color on this number. A spokesperson told me that this does not include any domains listed directly on Afternic. While the number includes some investors listing their domains through GoDaddy.com, “We’ve seen great momentum from our non-domain investor client base,” the spokesperson stated.
Lots of people who don’t consider themselves domain name investors own unused domain they’d be willing to sell. By making it easy for them to list these domain names, GoDaddy is unlocking inventory and making it easier for other people to acquire these domains.
