Welcome to the DomainNameWire.com newsletter.

Last week GoDaddy announced that it acquired Afternic,
the domain name sales platform.

This is big news for domain investors and registrars alike.

Here's an exclusive look at the acquisition, including
details from GoDaddy CEO Blake Irving, Afternic CRO
Bob Mountain, and GoDaddy Director of Product Development
Paul Nicks:

The news brought many old school domainers down memory
lane. Back in the day, Afternic was a domain trading
platform with a community built in. The chat board
was quite popular, although it died down a bit after
the dot.com bust.

Many domain investors learned the trade and met future
business partners on the chat board.

Of course, the Afternic that GoDaddy just bought is
very different from the Afternic of over a decade ago.

It's now a distributed sales platform with 100+ partners.
18 of the top 20 domain name registrars carry its
listings. On many sites, you can instantly purchase
inventory on Afternic and get domains transferred
within minutes.

The combined GoDaddy/Afternic should be a boon to
domain investors, but they will also keep a watchful
eye on changes:

acquisition.
