I think Epik is building the best ever Domain Lander in the history of domaining, and it really needs to be talked about extensively. That's why I am creating this discussion thread. A lot of thought process really goes into the project. And I can see (for the first time) a landing page that is built from the stand point of domainers rather than for just the marketplace itself.

Everything you have ever dreamt of getting or seeing in a professional landing page can be found in the new Epik marketplace landing page design.

Some of my Favorites Features:


1. The ability to optimize your "domain for sale" landing page to actually rank on Google, displaying your sales pitch/domain description. I just did that with few of my generic domain names such as ASAP.TV, targeting certain keywords, and they are showing pretty well on Google. That's a huge plus in my marketing effort.

2. Being able to change background image is another huge one for me. If you are good with pictures and images, you will surely find this very useful. I did that with Nagasaki.org and the result was truly amazing, showing the city of Nagasaki right at the background.

There are too many positive features and I don't want to mention all of them, all alone :xf.grin::xf.grin:

So I am leaving you guys to share and discuss what you loves most or dislike about the new Epik marketplace and the landing pages.


The only negative for me is the checkout process. There are too many terms and conditions buttons to tick before checking out. It will be nice if they can streamline those into one beautiful big button :xf.cool:

They also need to place the checkout button directly under the payment options. Right now it is awkwardly place somewhere below at the sidebar, which I don't find cool at all.

Sales experience is also welcomed in this discussion. I haven't had any sells so far at Epik because I started using the marketplace just recently, but the future is looking so bright.

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
I just transferred a domain out of epik to the buyer, and wow, was that ever a smooth transfer out. (y)

Only QA note might be a minor grammar error.

With regards to:
Are you sure to transfer the domain?
Wondering if it should say:

Can you list TLDs where Epik acts as TRUE backorder?
Not just something like 1 request hourly to the corresponding Registry...
It was already asked in January...
And still waiting...

@NameDeck

Guess what? They missed it and someone freaking registered it through Epik? Wtf?

Edit:
Unless they have bigger issues. Bottom line, it's not in my account.

I think, they catch/DDoS only .com/.net as expected.
All other TLDs are processed just like their watchlist and will be registered if available.

Yes most probably. I have yet to look into the timeline for this particular drop and rereg but still think it's outrageous you can beat a registrars own dropcatch service by handregging it at the same registrar.

Unless it somehow didn't hit my account, that's what happened. Which is most unlikely as the backorder shows in progress in my panel.

It's not some obscure TLD I'm backordering. It's .org for heaven's sake. Run a proper backorder service or don't claim to be one.

I spent 45 minutes on live chat yesterday to ask if there are still issues catching .org. I was assured they are not aware of any. Obviously they never fixed what I pointed out months ago.

I guess they're not that bullish on .org after all.

Yes, Backorder and Watchlist are different things.

I just checked the timeline and the domain was reregistered almost an hour after the drop window!

It is Watchlist de facto, but called as Backorder.
Except .com/.net

So all is as I said in January.
They send just scheduled requests to the corresponding Registry...
Service for blondes - in other words, it has nothing to do with dropcatching/backorders.

Hex and Dyna are proper ways to catch .ORG

Yeah, I've had pretty good results with hexonet and dynadot in the past. It even beats others at .com sometimes and .net is also successful enough for me to be a serious contender. I should have (and was gonna) put a backorder in at DD but was a bit preoccupied as I had a funeral today so I didn't get to it. Also forgot to activate my bot and by the looks of it it would have easily caught this domain.

Thank you for you input!

Can we have an option to have all our domains in the dashboard in the lowercase? Every time i need to edit every single domain that i need it because they are all uppercase and only epik is using this "feature"

I recently made an offer as a buyer on their marketplace. As soon as I rejected the counteroffer there seems to be no further option to stay in touch with the seller, unless you make another offer. Am I missing something?

@NameDeck
How about EstiBot value and Earnings/Traffic/Alexa?
It is still displayed on the buyer's side?

I didn't notice it but wasn't looking for it either. Will check tomorrow and report back.

If no changes - it is visible in the negotiation thread...

Hi,

You can see all domains in Uppercase only in domain registrar page as of now.

However when you setup lander , you can set either Uppercase or lowercase for your domain name. For that please refer below knowledge base article on how to setup -

Thanks,
