Take advantage of the Domain Distribution Network and increase your domain sales volume today.

ICANN estimates that the domain name market, which has an approximated annual worth of $US0.5 billion, is quickly being overshadowed by the Domain Aftermarket, now believed to valued between $US 1-2 billion.*

Capitalize on this booming secondary domain market by offering your customers the opportunity to purchase premium aftermarket domain names.

The Domain Distribution Network (DDN) offers a complete domain name data management solution with quality assured global distribution. The network’s API maintains real-time data integrity, contextual and GeoIP relevant search technology, and is coupled with a seamless transfer process ensuring the immediate delivery of domains to buyers.

There are approximately 6 million domains available for resale in the general market. Initially the DDN feed will offer over 500,000 of the highest quality domains available for resale. The average resale price of these domains is over 100 times the price of a new registration, and registrars typically average over $150 net revenue per domain sale. This aftermarket revenue is in strong contrast to the low margins of new registrations and offers an attractive revenue stream to explore. More importantly, offering aftermarket domains ensures that customers don’t leave your website when looking for premium domains.
