At long last, two companies that are part of the same group strike a deal.
Domain name registrar and hosting company 1&1 Internet has finally joined the SedoMLS program, the companies announced today.
I say finally because both 1&1 and Sedo are part of the same parent company, United Internet. One of the greatest mysteries to me in the domain-company-politics arena since I started covering the domain name business was why these two couldn’t get a partnership going.
Now they have a deal, and this should be a big boost for Sedo and its MLS program. Not only is 1&1 huge (nearly 17 million customers) but it’s also focused more on helping people get a website than selling them a domain name. In other words, end users.
Domainers that list their domains in SedoMLS will now have their listings syndicated to 1&1 searches. This should provide a nice sales lift.
I’ve used the domain name in the 1 & 1 it very cheap and reasonable
In my opinion, 1&1 Internet, destroyed my business.
Great.
I’m still trying to figure out why Netfirms is SedoMLS, yet Dotster, Domain.com MyDomain.com and the rest of the Endurance owned registrars are not. Hopefully they solve that one next.
Wait for Namecheap
