What kinds of places sell domains?

Channel	How it reaches buyers	Best for
Large marketplaces with registrar networks (e.g. Afternic, Sedo)	Your name can appear in search results at partner registrars	Fixed-price names that a business might find while searching
Brandable marketplaces (e.g. Atom)	Curated catalogs with logos for startups	Invented, brandable names; acceptance is selective
Registrar marketplaces (e.g. Namecheap)	Shoppers at that registrar	Lower-priced names
Investor forums and auctions (e.g. NamePros)	Other domain investors	Fast sales at wholesale prices
Domain Dumpster Dive (our marketplace)	Buyers browsing a low-price catalog	Free listings, including bulk uploads

Marketplace terms and commissions change; check each one's current rates before listing.

Can I list a domain on more than one marketplace?

Usually yes, as long as the prices match and you remove the listing everywhere the moment it sells. Some exclusive programs forbid it, so read the terms.

Does the domain itself need a for-sale page?

Yes. Many buyers type the name directly into their browser. Point the DNS at a page that shows the price and a buy button. A blank page or a page full of ads wastes those visitors.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best website to sell a domain?

There is no single best one. Use marketplaces with instant checkout and wide distribution, and list on several at once where allowed so more buyers see the name.

Should I sell my domain on an auction?

Auctions to other investors sell quickly but usually at wholesale prices. Use them when speed matters more than price.

Do I have to move my domain to the marketplace?

Usually not. Most marketplaces only need you to verify ownership, for example with a DNS record. The domain moves to the buyer only after a sale.
