Sedo Revisited: How the Pioneering Domain Company Has Kept Pace Through a Decade of Constant Change

One of our earliest corporate profiles was an early 2004 Cover Story detailing how Cologne, Germany based Sedo was growing into a global domain services powerhouse, just three years after friends and fellow college students Tim Schumacher, Ulrich Priesner and Marius Wuerzner had founded the company as a place where buyers and sellers of domain names could connect to do business. The name Sedo was actually an acronym for Search Engine for Domain Offers.

Over the years the rapidly growing company expanded into other areas (most notably domain monetization) and Sedo opened offices and hired staff around the globe (including a U.S. office in Boston) that allowed the company to do business in multiple local languages - a capability that further accelerated Sedo's growth.

Sedo will no longer be a separate, publicly traded company.

United Internet AG has raised its stake in Sedo Holding to 96.05% after buying out the co-founders’ shares at a price of 2.60 euros per share. United Internet plans to integrate Sedo Holding’s affiliate and domain business into its overall business. The company will initiate a “squeeze-out process” at Sedo over the coming weeks.
