Coming Soon: A New Aftermarket.com

We are excited to announce some major developments here at Aftermarket.com. We have acquired Domain.io, the advanced portfolio management system that will serve as the foundation for our new platform. This strategic move marks the beginning of our journey to become a leading force in the domain industry. Our mission is clear: to be the premier platform for buying and selling domains. We're committed to offering fair commissions and continuously adding value through innovative technology. We will be launching our full platform and domain marketplace this fall, with our registrar syndication network following shortly after.

Marketplace & Platform Features

As we prepare for the full platform launch, here's a preview of what's in store:

• Premier Marketplace: A user-friendly domain marketplace featuring direct payment options and seamless domain transaction handling.
• Flexible Commission: An industry first for a marketplace, allowing you to split, pay, or pass commission fees to the buyer. Our un-brokered commission rate is just 10%, offering a competitive alternative to rising commission fees.
• Direct Lead Handling: Respond to offers directly or automatically assign them to a broker with complete transparency.
• Portfolio Management: All of the advanced tools from Domain.io, including bulk DNS management, cross-marketplace verification, DNS/SSL/Whois monitoring, expiration tracking, and more.
• Customizable Landers: High performance SSL landing pages with flexible checkout options. 
• No Subscription Fees: Aftermarket.com will be free to use, offering industry-leading features without recurring costs. 

Proven Industry Leadership

We're proud to introduce the new leadership team that will be driving Aftermarket.com forward:

• Frank Pavilonis, CEO: With over a decade in the domain business, Frank has played key roles at some of the industry's top companies, driving success wherever he goes. His deep understanding of the market and forward-looking vision are central to Aftermarket.com's mission to become the leading platform in the industry.
• Aaron Oxborrow, CTO: As the founder of Domain.io, Aaron brings unparalleled technical expertise to Aftermarket.com. His innovative approach to portfolio management and passion for domains will be instrumental in shaping the new Aftermarket.com.

What This Means for Domain.io Users

Domain.io will transition completely to Aftermarket.com. We're committed to ensuring a seamless migration for all users. Here's what you need to know:

• Domain.io is now free and will no longer collect subscription payments. 
• Annual plan subscribers will receive prorated refunds.
• User accounts and domains will automatically migrate to the new Aftermarket.com platform at launch.
• Seller portfolio pages will redirect to Aftermarket.com URLs after the migration.
• We'll continue to support ns1.domain.io / ns2.domain.io nameservers for at least one year.
• All existing Domain.io users will get early access to the new Aftermarket.com.
