SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 30 -- GoDaddy.com(R), the No. 1 registrar of domain names worldwide, is pleased to announce a partnership with YesDirect(R), a targeted online traffic and business solutions provider.
The deal allows Go Daddy(R) to sell YesDirect's portfolio of more than 600,000 premium domain names on the Domain Name Aftermarket(TM), Go Daddy's domain auction house. The Domain Name Aftermarket provides customers a safe, secure and easy-to-use marketplace to either bid on a domain name or post a domain for sale. Much like a real estate listing service, the Domain Name Aftermarket receives a small commission percentage on each auctioned name.
"Top-notch domain names will sell at an unbelievable premium," said Bob Parsons, GoDaddy.com founder and president. "Some of these domains have the potential to fetch prices in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. By partnering with YesDirect, we have increased the value of our domain auction site, while our new partners have increased their exposure."
"YesDirect offers Go Daddy visitors the best opportunity to find the right name to establish an online presence," said Jeffrey Bennett, YesDirect president and COO. "Working with Go Daddy is a natural extension of our intent to partner with industry leaders."
