===New gTLD Services===
 +
In October, 2012, Sedo announced that it was launching a number of services for the registries to be created through [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]:
 +
* String Contention Private Auctions  - a neutral, safe platform for multiple applicants for the same string to resolve the contention. [[ICANN]] is offering its own services, but has encouraged applicants to resolve contention on their own.
 +
* Premium List Identification and Pricing Assistance - Sedo will help applicants identify which domains are going to be the most attractive to the target audience and price them appropriately. Sedo uses more than 11 years of proprietary sales data covering all traded TLDs, as well as multiple external sources, to create a premium reserve list of domains likely to command the highest sales values.
 +
* Sunrise, Landrush and Premium Auctions - Sedo provides multiple-language auction services for both premium auctions and those related to the [[Sunrise Period]]s and [[Landrush Period]]s.
 +
* Exclusive Premium Name Distribution in the SedoMLS Network
 +
* Premium Brokerage and Pre-Brokerage
