How to using GoDaddy List for Sale instead of Afternic: Video tutorial

See how to add your domains to Afternic through the GoDaddy interface.

I list nearly all of my domain names on Afternic, but I don’t log into Afternic to list many of them. Instead, I use GoDaddy’s List for Sale feature that lets you list domains from within your GoDaddy account.

There are a number of benefits to doing this:

  • Easier verification – GoDaddy knows you own the domains since they’re in your account
  • A better UI for entering prices
  • Automatically point your domains to For Sale landers without changing nameservers

Alas, the system isn’t perfect, counting different UIs based on where you click to list your domains. But all in all, I find it to be the simplest way to list domains when they are at GoDaddy. (Dynadot offers similar functionality, by the way.)

In this video, I walk through how to list your domains for sale directly through GoDaddy and some things to be aware of.
