GoDaddy recently launched its high-end DomainNames.com marketplace. The platform launched with listings that included high value inventory like Harmony.com, HongKong.com, FL.com, Bankroll.com, Switch.ai, Ladder.ai, and a plethora of other great domain names.
According to a post from GoDaddy’s James Iles, DomainNames.com already closed its first sale:
Yep!
Unfortunately can’t share any details at this time, but we’re working on how we might be able to share more sales info in the future.

I reached out to James to ask about the domain name that was sold, but he was unable to share any details. I am almost certain the platform has a minimum price/valuation of six figures for domain names to be listed there, so one can assume it was at least a six figure deal.
From what I understand, GoDaddy has been reaching out to customers to add inventory to the platform. I believe people are also able to submit their inventory, but the company is limiting the listings that are approved for the platform.
I tried to sleuth out what domain name was sold, but Archive.org doesn’t have a record of the platform since it launched a few weeks ago so I can’t see if any names were subtracted since the launch.
Sounds like a flop.
Congrats on the first sale, GoDaddy! Great to see DomainNames.com gaining traction. Hope to see more transparency on future deals, it’ll help build trust and momentum in the premium domain market.
