Newly launched 'Domain Marketplace' allows users to seacrh domains from unregistered names to already registered domains for sale with a set price.

1&1 Internet Ltd., a web hosting company, today launched a new facility for finding pre-owned domain name registrations up for sale along side regular unregistered names. The company states that supported by Sedo, a provider for buying and selling domain names services, the service delivers more options to clinch the perfect web identity. It further states that its participation will bring pre-registered domains to a wide range of consumer and business user groups and enables them to make a more informed choice from the very start of an online project. For businesses operating in a competitive internet environment, investing in a memorable web address can often help drive traffic to a website or e-commerce venture.

The company claims that its newly launched 'Domain Marketplace' allows the user to browse an selection of domain possibilities from unregistered names to already registered domains for sale with a set price. It adds that the registered 'for-sale' domains are listed in addition to the unregistered domain suggestions, which are offered via DomainsBot technology. The company avers that one can purchase or bid on registered domains with Sedo by clicking-through from its shopping cart.  

Oliver Mauss, CEO 1&1 Internet Inc., said, "Our new Domain Marketplace feature provides an enhanced overview of available domain options. As the Internet further matures, there has never been a more relevant time to consider leveraging an already registered domain." Mauss added, "Businesses often choose their primary domain names in haste at the start of an online project. Businesses today should review all the available domain options periodically and consider the business case for investments in this area."

Tim Schumacher, CEO of Sedo, said, "Sedo is pleased to extend our domain marketplace offers to 1&1 customers. This gives 1&1 customers a greater selection of domains to choose from, and expands the audience of potential buyers for all sellers on Sedo."
