Afternic distributes your listing. TrustTLD verifies it.
Afternic is GoDaddy's aftermarket. List a domain and it is syndicated into registrar search results across a large partner network, with a commission taken when it sells. TrustTLD is smaller and does a different job: every listing proves ownership before it goes live, the signals behind a domain are published with their sources, and there is no commission at the end.

Why sellers and buyers choose TrustTLD
Transparent TRUST Score
Every listing shows real signals — registration age, DNS/HTTP status, archive history — with the full component breakdown, not a black-box number.
Private, direct offers
No public bidding wars. Offers go straight to the seller and stay private between the two of you.
Verified or anonymous, your choice
Sellers choose how they appear — buyers always know which they're dealing with.
No forced auction
Domains are priced by the seller, not driven up by competitive bidding. Negotiate directly.
Verdict
Choose TrustTLD when you want a domain-specific marketplace with a transparent, component-level trust score and a private offer straight to the seller — not a public auction competing against other bidders.
