Sell domains with GoDaddy in a 7-Day Public Auction

GoDaddy Auctions® lets you list your domain name for sale in a 7-Day Public Auction.

You set the asking price, which is the minimum starting bid buyers can enter for the domain name. Potential buyers make bids, and the highest bidder wins when the auction ends. You can also set a reserve price so the domain name sells only if the winning bid meets a threshold.

Note: Potential buyers cannot see the reserve price, but they can see that you've set one and if anyone has met it.

For more information about your listing options, see Listing types for GoDaddy Auctions®.
