Enables Fasthost's and UKreg customers to purchase previously registered domain names via Sedo.

Fasthosts, a hosting company and Sedo, a reseller of domain names, today announced an agreement to offer Fasthost's customers the opportunity to purchase previously registered domain names via Sedo.

Both Fasthosts and UKreg, a domain registration firm, customers will benefit from the Sedo partnership. According to the company, competition caused by the shrinking number of available domain names, has seen registrars like Fasthosts and UKreg, looking to offer value-added services.

"The Sedo community of domain owners represents a very dynamic global market for Fasthosts," said Stephen Holford, Director of Product Marketing, Fasthosts. "Fasthosts offers domain solutions for a variety of audiences from large and small domain name resellers to individual domain customers, but all of them can take advantage of Sedo's comprehensive secondary marketplace services."

"Many users are often unaware of domain acquisition options outside the traditional primary market. From our experience in linking the primary and secondary markets in the US, we have found that users are pleasantly surprised by the wide range of options the rapidly growing secondary market opens up to them," said Nora Cotter, Director of UK Operations for Sedo.
