To All, But Limited Registrar Partners — SedoMLS Opens

Distributed listings and instant transfer service now available to all domain name owners.

Sedo has opened its SedoMLS program to all clients. The beta was previously only available for sizable clients.

SedoMLS is similar to AfternicDLS, which lets you syndicate your domain listings to multiple registrars. When the domain sells, it is instantly transferred to the fresh buyer. All domain names must be listed at a fixed price to qualify.

In order to use the service your domain name must be registered at a participating registrar. Unfortunately, it’s not clear which registrars are participating at this point. I can’t find a list, and Sedo’s promotion of the service and FAQ basically states you need to try adding your domain to find out if your registrar is participating yet. The list of “Premium Partners” here does not represent fully integrated partners. I tried a domain registered at Moniker and it is not supported.

Although reach may not be as good as Afternic (or Go Daddy’s Premium Listings), the program does support more ccTLDs counting .co, .de, .nl, .it, .ch, .li, .ws, and .me.
