James Iles

We’re back with another highly anticipated Premium Auction Event from GoDaddy! Beginning June 10th and ending June 17th and 18th, this auction features over 1,000 investment-grade domain names, including Broker.net, Rearrange.com, and Zag.io.  

Access the full list of domains here, plus starting bids.

Following the success of our Premium Auction Event in March, multiple partners are returning with some top domains. We’re also introducing an exclusive collection of .io domain names, released to the aftermarket for the very first time. 

Exclusive .io domains 

For the first time ever, a curated list of 170 .io domain names is being released and made exclusively available for this Premium Auction Event.  

Brand new to the market, these include 9 two-number .io’s, 39 two and three-character .io’s, and numerous single-word .io’s. Here are some highlights:

  • 07.io 
  • 08.io 
  • Zag.io 
  • Glo.io 
  • Phew.io 

The .io extension continues to be a favorite among startups and tech companies. In 2024, .io was the 6th best-selling TLD at Afternic, and achieved the 4th highest sell-through rate of any extension there. 

High-quality names across top extensions 

Of course, the Premium Auction Event isn’t complete without the wide range of valuable domain names across multiple extensions that our buyers know and love.  

Some standout listings include: 

  • Broker.net 
  • Rearrange.com 
  • MD.co
