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.
Domain Profiles are a nice time-saver fore sure.

true

what i don't see is the option to get my auth codes in bulk. and that's a time waster for large portfolios.
also you should have the list of transfers in reverse chronological order (not a big issue, just annoying)

Yes, I have always thought transfers should automatically be listed with the newest transfers first - and highlight any that have failed. I was always surprised that Epik doesn't send an email for any that have failed actually. No big deal as I know where to look now, but at the start that was a surprise since I would expect a notification about a purchase that has been made but failed...

Yes live and working like a champ.
I enabled and waited while the 5min timer counted down. Sadly no SMS confirmation received. So I manually removed the leading '0' from my mobile number and it worked. Yay! A lot of sites don't require that, but at least it's working now. Might be a handy tip for any other international domainers reading along...

Who is responsible for the misleading TLD banners on Epik main page?
This issue is traditional... many times reported via LiveChat... but repeats and repeats continiously...

Live example: .life and .world banners of $2.49 - but actual checkout price is ~$35 and ~$41 accordingly.
For NON-premium domains.

Started using the email forwarding function today but apparently you have to set it up for each domain. When you select multiple domains, the Forwarding drop-down list has Setup Email Forwarding grayed-out. Very time consuming to set this feature to a lot of domains.

Setup Domain Forwarding can be applied to multiple domains, though. So why can't it work in bulk for email forwarding?

Yes, of course I know the series. :) It is a great series, and often gets some enthusiastic commenters. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss our progress and roadmap with your sophisticated audience.

And it will be kept on topic so there will be no ad hominem attacks.

Thanks for sharing this discussion. The first post there states
They have ... integration with ... Afternic Fast Transfer.

Every domain I move from Godaddy to Epik gets instantly delisted at Afternic. This hurts because Afternic is very effective. Could I avoid a delisting as Epik seems to fulfil Afternic Fast Transfer requirements? What do I have to do?

SMS to Ukraine doesn't work as before.
I have tried today.

Will have @vitigo get in touch. He is in Krasndodar and can help test. Twilio should be fine for Ukraine but let's verify, and otherwise we'll add a second SMS gateway for Ukraine.

Thumbs up to Brooke at Epik for getting me straightened out
thumbs up to Brooke for resolving the issue of ordering two domains but also accidentally backordering them.

Hi @Rob Monster - there is a bug with SMS 2FA. It's currently not working. It worked a couple of times when I first enabled it but the last couple of times I've logged into my Epik account I realised I wasn't challenged for the code at all. It logged me straight in despite the settings below. Please take a look at this ASAP!

@Ala Dadan @Rob Monster
Feature request: Any chance your control panel could display 1,000 domains per page instead of the max 500?
Alternatively (at a very minimum) could you add these buttons to the top of each page as well so that when I am working with domains not on the fist page I can get there without have to scroll to the bottom first?...:

Likely no bug actually. Just log out. When you log back in, don't set the "Remember Me" checkbox:

Box wasn't ticked. Though manually logging out then ticking and unticking the box, then logging back in seems to have 'fixed it' for now. I'll see how it goes moving forward. Thanks.
