Staying honest

What Sedo does better

The largest distribution network in the German-speaking market: one listing appears at hundreds of connected registrars.
25 years of brand recognition. Anyone who wants to buy a domain knows Sedo.
Their own buyers: real enquiries come through the platform every day, without Google sending anyone.

And when we are

When Sedo is the better choice

You want to sell a single expensive domain and are happy to pay commission for the reach.
You need the Sedo name as an anchor of trust for a buyer who does not know the market.

For everything else, meaning a whole portfolio that is sitting there doing nothing, we are the better choice. And you do not have to decide: leave your domains where they are and list them here as well.

Not an either-or

You do not have to cancel anything at Sedo.

Technically a domain can point to only one parking provider, but a listing may appear anywhere. Prove ownership here with a TXT record and your domain is in our marketplace while it stays parked where it is today. If you like what happens here, move the A record later.
