*** Here Is A List Of Some Of The Best Domain Name Resources Available ***March 2nd, 2017 – Sedo, the world’s largest domain marketplace and monetization provider, and 1&1 Internet, the most trusted partner for digital success for small businesses, today announced a partnership that enables 1&1 to offer up to 18 million premium domain names from Sedo’s domain marketplace to its customer base of 16.75 million. The distribution of these premium domain names is made possible by the web’s largest domain distribution network, SedoMLS. 1&1 customers also gain access to exclusive premium domains from more than 700 new generic top-level domain (gTLD) extensions that are available at Sedo.
“1&1’s integration of SedoMLS provides our customers access to a vast network with the best domain name options”, says Robert Hoffmann, CEO 1&1 Internet SE. “This will not only boost our customers’ success in targeted domain searches, but also increase the likelihood of finding the right domain name for their web project.”
The best domain names offering the highest value for online businesses, so called premium domain names, are no longer available for registration. But the secondary market provides the possibility to get access to those premium domain names. It is crucial that they are highly visible and can be easily found by interested domain name buyers. Domain buyers have enumerable options for finding their perfect name. Even if a desired domain has already been assigned, customers at 1&1 can now buy the domain if it’s for sale or they are offered similar domain names from the premium domain range.
“The partnership with 1&1 being one of the largest registrars in the world, offers us access to a new and broader range of domain buyers. This is great news for domain sellers at Sedo as we gained a new strong partner with 1&1 which will increase our sales reach around the world and our ability to distribute the growing inventory of premium domains to a global customer base. This way we can ensure that businesses and individuals alike can find the right domain names to best suit their needs”, summarizes Tobias Flaitz, Sedo’s CEO.

I don’t think you will find many fans of 1&1. Never hear anything good about them. Sellers getting their Sedo domains promoted to 1&1 audience is a good thing though.
Today is the first time I’ve learned that SEDO stands for “Search Engine for Domain Offers,”
Thank you John,
