# Afternic

Afternic is a domain marketplace owned by GoDaddy where owners list names for sale. It also distributes listings to partner registrars so buyers there can find and buy them.

## Why it matters

Afternic is one of the largest sales channels for fixed-price names. Owners list a name at a set price, and buyers can buy it with one click at partner sites. Fast Transfer can move the domain quickly after the sale. A commission is paid when the name sells, and the rate depends on the setup, per GoDaddy's help pages. Sellers should compare it with a broker for high-value names. Common mistake: listing a premium name at a low fixed price. A fixed price can sell in minutes, and you cannot recall it.
