About SedoMLS
The SedoMLS Promotion Network is the largest domain distribution network, with nearly 60 partners worldwide, including a number of the world’s top registrars. It supports more TLDs than any other domain distribution network, has the only truly global reach, and provides its registrar partners with a new revenue stream: Sedo’s domain marketplace. SedoMLS partners offer their customers direct access to any domain name listed for sale at Sedo directly at their website. Potential buyers can purchase the domain from the current owner through referral to Sedo.com, or through the partner’s standard checkout process.
How SedoMLS Works
With SedoMLS Basic integration, searches performed on a partner’s website display matches from Sedo’s inventory of more than 15 million domains, and potential registrants are redirected to Sedo.com to continue with the purchase. SedoMLS Premium partners benefit from an uninterrupted checkout process: Buy Now domains appear in their search results, can be added to any customer’s shopping cart on that partner’s site, and can be purchased without leaving their online checkout page. Most importantly, by allowing their customers to list their domains for sale via SedoMLS, Sedo’s partners benefit from additional revenue from the domain aftermarket.
SedoMLS helps us reach a wider audience of potential domain buyers than ever before,” said Tim Schumacher, CEO of Sedo. “As an additional sales channel for international domain sellers, SedoMLS both helps expand the number of potential buyers, and makes purchasing a domain name as easy as registering it, while our registrar partners benefit from access to our domain marketplace.”
