NamePros Parking shows a free landing page (a lander) on each of your domains. It tells visitors the domain is for sale and lets buyers contact you or buy it. NamePros charges no fees and takes no commission, even when you make a sale. The payment service you use may charge its own fees.
Any NamePros member can park domains they control. Parking takes three steps.
Step 1: Set your parking email
Set and confirm your parking email. Inquiries from buyers are sent there, so use an address you check often.
Step 2: Add your domains
On Add domains , enter your domain names, one per line, and select "Add domains".
Some registries, such as .de, accept our nameservers only once the domain is in your NamePros account. If your registrar shows an error in step 3, make sure you did this step first.
Step 3: Point your domains to us
At your registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Dynadot), set the nameservers shown on Verify domains on each domain. The second one is unique to your account, so it is different from anyone else's.
Each registrar does this a little differently. Search its help pages for "change nameservers", or ask its support team. Verification methods and troubleshooting explains the other ways to verify, if you want to keep your current nameservers.
Check that it worked
Many domains are verified within minutes of the change at your registrar, although DNS changes can take a few hours to reach everyone. We keep checking on our own for a while.
- Imports shows each time you added domains, with any problems (e.g., a typing mistake such as
example.xom). Fix it and add the domain again. - On Domain names , your domains should be under "Verified", and none should be left under "Unverified" or "Detected".
A domain that will not verify shows the reason on the "Unverified" tab. When a domain will not verify explains each one. Still stuck after a day? Contact NamePros Support.
You're all set
When a buyer writes to you from a lander, we email the inquiry to your parking email with all the details they entered. Reply to that email to answer them; the conversation continues in your inbox.
Every inquiry is also kept on Inquiries , including any that arrived before your domain was verified. Select "Send to email" on one to have it emailed to you. Manage your inquiries covers the rest.
Next, you might like to:
- Choose how your landers look: Lander demos and their settings.
- Set prices and how buyers can pay under Price & sales.
- Act on many domains at once: Act on many domains at once.
