Sedo Partners With Chinese Registrar 66.cn

Sedo’s latest partnership is with Chinese registrar 66.cn. Customers searching for domains at 66.cn’s site will see premium domain listings available for purchase at Sedo, and be redirected to the Sedo website via a “for sale” link to complete the purchase. 66.cn seems to be focusing on .cn domains so I am not sure what the impact on other TLDs listed at Sedo will be.

This is the complete press release:

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., – January 14, 2013 – Sedo, the world’s largest domain marketplace and monetization provider, today announced a new partnership with Chinese registrar 66.cn. Customers at 66.cn’s website will now be able to purchase domains from Sedo’s inventory of over 16 million names by clicking on a ‘for sale’ listing and completing their purchase at the Sedo.com website. This partnership with another registrar based in China adds another potential point of sale for domain owners listing their names for sale with Sedo.

Cooperation with Sedo can enrich our business, enrich the content of our website, and both partners in this cooperation will be able to achieve win-win results!”
