Domainers who want zero setup and are happy with generic landers

Verdict

The best choice for any domain you are actively marketing. Zero cost, full control, professional result. The 10-minute setup cost is the only trade-off.

Afternic

Marketplace
Cost: $0 (free to list)Commission: 15–20%DNS control: NoLease-to-own: Yes

Customisation

Pros

  • +Largest distribution network — integrated with 100+ registrars
  • +Fast Transfer program for instant .com sales
  • +Afternic brokers handle negotiation for you

Cons

  • Highest commission: 15% with approved NS, 20–25% without
  • Generic lander identical for every domain
  • DNS must point to Afternic for lander to show

  • GoDaddy branding more prominent than your domain
  • Tracking URL parameters visible to buyers

Best for

Passive inbound sales — domains you want listed and forgotten

Not for

Premium domains where presentation and custom copy matter

Verdict

Best for passive exposure and volume. Combine with a custom lander on premium domains by keeping the domain listed on Afternic while serving a custom page via DNS.

Sedo

Marketplace
Cost: $0 (free to list)Commission: 10–15%DNS control: NoLease-to-own: No

Customisation

  • +Human-reviewed appraisal service available

Cons

  • Generic lander with no custom copy
  • Less US traffic than Afternic
  • No lease-to-own on standard landers
  • DNS dependency for lander activation

Best for

European buyers and ccTLD domains

Not for

US-centric portfolios or domains needing premium presentation

The right marketplace for European domains and international reach. Use alongside a custom lander for direct traffic.

  • +Fast, frictionless buyer experience
  • +Owned by GoDaddy — integrated distribution

Cons

  • Less overall traffic than Afternic

  • GoDaddy ownership means future direction uncertain
  • DNS control required for lander

Best for

Mid-range domains where commission cost savings matter

Not for

High-value domains that need custom premium presentation

Verdict

The best marketplace-hosted lander for conversion rate. Good choice for mid-range portfolios where 9% commission is worth the traffic.

Efty

Portfolio tool
Cost: $18–$99/monthCommission: 5% (Efty Pay)DNS control: YesLease-to-own: Yes

Cons

  • Monthly subscription: $18/mo (Starter, 50 domains) to $99/mo (Pro, 5000 domains)
  • Requires setup and configuration
  • Not a public marketplace — relies on direct traffic and outbound
  • Less buyer exposure than Afternic or Sedo

Best for

Serious investors with 50+ domains who want portfolio management + low commission

Not for

Small portfolios where monthly subscription is not justified

Verdict

The best platform for serious domainers with larger portfolios. At $36/month for 1,500 domains and 5% commission, the economics beat every marketplace at scale.

Cons

  • Limited template customisation

  • Works best when combined with active NamePros community presence

Best for

Not for

Sellers relying on passive inbound traffic

Verdict

A solid free option for domainers embedded in the NamePros community. Not a replacement for marketplace exposure on high-value names.


Which platform for which portfolio?

Most serious domainers use a combination — not a single platform. Here is the recommended stack by portfolio size and goal.

Profile

Casual seller, 1–10 domains

Recommended stack

parkedtld.com template + Afternic listing

Free custom lander for direct traffic. Afternic captures passive marketplace buyers. Zero monthly cost.

Profile

Active investor, 10–50 domains

Recommended stack

parkedtld.com templates + Afternic + Sedo

Custom landers on direct traffic, dual marketplace listing for exposure. Commission only on sales.

Profile

Serious investor, 50–500 domains

Recommended stack

Efty ($36/mo) + Afternic for fast transfer .coms

At this scale Efty's 5% commission and portfolio dashboard save significant money vs Afternic's 15–20%. Keep top .coms on Afternic fast transfer for registrar-driven sales.

Profile

Large portfolio, 500+ domains

Recommended stack

Efty Pro ($99/mo) + selective Afternic fast transfer

Efty Pro covers up to 5,000 domains. $99/month pays for itself on a single sale avoided at 15% Afternic commission on a $1,000 domain.
