Who wants a 6 hour Mega .COM Happy Hour?

From 6 pm PT until midnight. No limits for $6.99 .COM creates and transfers. How about that action?

And remember to use the Epik SSL landers. They are definitely crushing it on the inbounds:

It is being discussed in this other thread where some folks are sharing some best practices:

From 03:00 to 09:00 UTC+2 if I'm correct
I will do some transfers when I wake up tomorrow then

@Rob Monster you can add this Event Time Converter to the happy hour treads. It can help to solve time confusion. Converter automatically detects user location and displays converted time of event

Thanks @NetPark. You do bring the good ideas. Let me discuss with @Ala Dadan about designing a Happy Hour page where we can display the active promos in local time based on detected location which you can then adjust if we guess it wrong. It is a good suggestion.

I just transferred 8 domains

Another 2+ hour window for Asia and Europe.

Down the road, we might have to add a Browser plugin to trigger configurable alerts for deals and domain status updates.

Exactly, that will be the most viable option. Since not everyone checks this thread every time. If there is any notification, then it will be great for us.

There should be an option like, do you want to get notifications about our happy hour offer?

P.s- I have not logged into my epik account in last few weeks. So an email notification will be better for me.

Thank you very much! Hope you"ll do it very month.

After payment, I later added the authorization codes by using "Transfer into Portfolio". The system indicated that I had paid, but did not seem to acknowledge that the entered codes were accepted. Or did I fail to see it?

Kassey - I confirm that you have no failed transfers.

The transfer system is pretty smart. If you submit transfers for which there was a prior payment, it simply matches the auth code to the domain and restarts the transfer.

Where we need to make some more progress is in automating migrations from registrars like NetSol that make it obscenely tedious.

For now, if anyone has issues with managing domain transfers, just use our free transfer concierge. They know the tricks for getting these migrations done without downtime.

With all these great deals, easy transfer, and solid management, you folks will be loved by the NP community.

One of my transfers failed because the name was previously pushed to my Godaddy account and it was less than 60 days ago.
Will I be able to start the transfer again in one month ? (25/09/19)

Yes, the transfer credit holds -- you will see the domain transfer slot under Transfers --> Get Transfer Status.

@Rob Monster any .net or .org transfer promo ?

@Rob Monster any .net or .org transfer promo ?

No big promos for .ORG and .NET there but contact our support team about bulk transfers and we'll see what we can do there.

The $6.99 .COM is definitely a money-loser. It pays for itself through folks using our SSL landers to sell through to the after-market which is how we justify the hard loss on .COM transfers for which there is no registry incentives and probably never will be.

Regardless, we are helping folks out on bulk portfolio migrations so just contact us to discuss your portfolio. In the meantime, any established/real member at NamePros can be approved for parking and selling external domains at Epik.

I'm switching from Dan to Epik SSL landers; And I prefer to have 3 boxes with 3 different options (Buy, Lease/Rent, Contact) than one with a small Make an offer link at Dan

Hello Rob and Staff, thanks for all your hard work.

How long are the special prices on the New gTLDs going to continue, I like some of the ones that are 99 cents or 2.99 .

Also I was experimenting with the parking landers (the traditional landers with links) to see if they showed links that matched perfectly to my domains which a lot of them did. If I switch back and forth every once in a while between the traditional parking landers and the SSL sales landers would that be okay or is it best to just stick with one option for the long haul.

By the way I wish there was a way to differentiate more between the different landing pages as right now they are all called Parking, but parking to me means more like the traditional landers with links. Maybe the SSL sales landers can be put under “Sales Landers” section instead of where they are right now which is under the Parking options. IMO

Overnight I noticed that many people were picking up 3L .PH domains for $5.99 at Epik.

Example:

http://whois.epik.com/paf.ph

I thought that was pretty cool.

There are some deals in the .PH registry.

These names look very mispriced. There are many wealthy overseas Chinese in the Philippines plus plenty of rich Filipinos.

Most Filipinos speak English so there should be no language gap. If there are any Filipinos on NP, I suggest you load up. This promo ends on August 20th.

For anyone wondering, this is the lowest price .PH has ever offered in their operating history. They did this as part of welcoming as a new direct registrar. Classy!

In short, this look like another .CO situation -- good opportunity for asymmetric returns.

Bulk search here:

https://epik.com/bulk

Good luck!

Is there still a promotion on .ph-domains (I see previous ended yesterday, 20th of august Philipino time) ??? Or could this period be extended ?

We're working with the registry to offer a new promo for .PH after the first successful one.

Stay tuned!

@all will plan for this with the team.
alongside that, we are planning to introduce new notification alerts hub into the platform.
New Promos, Happy hour and other types of alerts will be part of this feature.

Who wants a 6 hour Mega .COM Happy Hour?

Bummed out I missed this one yesterday. FYI, not a single notice has come in for this thread for the last 2 days....actually got one earlier today for a post someone made on another unrelated thread from August 4th?!?!?!

Is it possible to create an email alert for specials/sales similar to the daily email from Epik that contains the daily diamonds?

Engineering is working on that. However, no worries though - just lit up happy hour now.

For next 3 hours $6.99 .COM for Create and Transfer.
