SeDo

Sedo is a German-based online marketplace for buying, selling, and monetizing domain names and websites. It operates a large, global platform where individuals and businesses can list domains for sale, negotiate deals, and complete transfers through escrow and secure payment processes. In addition to direct sales, Sedo offers a brokerage service in which professional brokers negotiate on behalf of clients. The company also provides domain appraisals to estimate value and a domain parking program that monetizes unused domains through advertising.

Sedo was founded in 2001 as a domain parking and brokerage service and has since expanded into a comprehensive marketplace with listings in multiple currencies and languages. It operates globally and is headquartered in Cologne, Germany. Its offerings include SedoMLS, a distribution network that syndicates listings to partner marketplaces and search engines to increase exposure for sellers. Revenue is generated primarily from commissions on sales, brokerage fees, and parking monetization.
