Domain Investing Tips On The Dot

At GoDaddy, our guiding principle has always been to help customers succeed online. Success can be anything — a site for showcasing family pictures from recent get-togethers, a serious business for shipping products worldwide, a lifestyle blog from a fierce mompreneur, and more. We do what we can to give our customers the best products, support and knowledge so they can launch their ideas. And for our Aftermarket team, that means helping customers with domain investing tips.

GoDaddy’s Aftermarket team offers free support, the largest inventory of domain names for sale, and exposure to end-user buyers if you’re in the game of domain buying and selling. Plus, we also archive our Aftermarket Google Hangouts on YouTube, giving our customers the opportunity to sit back and gain insight from industry leaders.
