For over two decades, Sedo has been the trusted platform connecting domain buyers and sellers across the globe. We've built the infrastructure that powers the modern domain economy.
Our Story
Sedo was founded in 2001 in Cologne, Germany, with a simple but powerful idea: create a neutral, transparent marketplace where domain owners could connect with buyers from anywhere in the world. At a time when domain trading was fragmented and opaque, we built the platform that changed everything.
Over two decades, Sedo has grown into the world's largest domain marketplace — not just in listing volume, but in the depth of services we offer. From search and instant purchase to broker-assisted negotiations and professional appraisals, we've built an end-to-end platform that serves everyone from individual entrepreneurs to Fortune 500 companies.
As part of United Internet AG, one of Europe's leading internet companies, Sedo combines the agility of a domain-focused specialist with the resources and stability of a major technology group. This structure allows us to invest continuously in infrastructure, technology, and the expertise of our global team.
Today, our platform processes millions of inquiries each year, facilitating transactions that range from a few hundred dollars to multi-million dollar headline sales. Our escrow-backed transfer process and transparent pricing have made Sedo the trusted choice for serious domain transactions worldwide.
To make domain trading transparent, efficient, and accessible for buyers and sellers everywhere — building trust at every step of every transaction.
A publicly traded European technology group with 25M+ customer contracts and a portfolio including 1&1, IONOS, and GMX.
Our main office sits in Germany's media capital, with additional teams in the US and across Europe serving our global customer base.
Two Decades of Growth
Sedo launches as a neutral domain marketplace, pioneering transparent pricing and secure escrow transfers for domain transactions.

As ICANN's new domain extensions roll out, Sedo becomes the leading marketplace for hundreds of new TLDs, from .shop to .tech to .ai.
With 24M+ listings, 3M+ buyers, and operations in 220+ countries, Sedo remains the undisputed world leader in secondary domain sales.
What We Stand For
Every decision at Sedo is guided by a commitment to transparency, security, and equal access for all market participants.
No hidden fees, no opaque pricing. Every listing shows clear price expectations and our commission structure is published openly. What you see is what you pay.
Our escrow-backed transfer process holds funds securely until the domain is successfully transferred. Both parties are protected at every step of every transaction.
With buyers and sellers in 220+ countries and multi-language support, we've removed geographic barriers so the best domain finds the right owner — regardless of borders.
Our team of industry veterans brings over two decades of domain market knowledge. Our brokers, appraisers, and account managers are among the most experienced in the business.
From AI-powered valuations to real-time auction technology, we invest heavily in tools that make domain transactions faster, smarter, and more reliable year after year.
Sedo does not speculatively acquire domains for resale. We are a pure marketplace — our only incentive is helping buyers and sellers find each other at fair value.
