Epik.com Promo Deals and Happy Hour Mega-Thread

OK .. this is getting a little complicated for me .. for each person who joins in, just do a running total after mentioning your commitment .. also please check the number of domains I have for you here (please adjust to nearest 10 domains), and if it's accurate now please like or thank this post .. if it's not, then copy the list below and correct the incorrect information in a new post along with all the other names. Note that since I was talking about 5000 names in the end and $5.99, I put that as people's commitment, also correct that if it's wrong:

???? - @Rob Monster's whale
???? - @anantj ($5.99 or less)
0100 - @Ategy.com ($5.99 or less)
0100 - @blank ($5.99 or less)
0070 - @vravis9 ($5.99 or less)
0450 - @Blitzpotz ($5.49 only)
0600 - @DomMichael ($5.49 only)
1000 - @DomainNerdz ($5.49 only)
====
2320 + @anantj + Rob's Whale


If you are on this list, but can't commit if Epik offered the $5.49 for 24hours deal at any time, please also remove yourself from the list and readjust the total.

Some people who mentioned interest, but didn't leave a number, please say how many you'll take, even if it's 10 domains, then remake the list including a line for yourself and be sure to change the total:
@getjimmy
@anantj
@Xabial


@DomainNerdz .. I think the problem will be that we can't make any of Rob's whales wait. Some of us aren't willing to chance it could be weeks or months before we get to 10,000. I was prepared to buy at $6.49 (2500) ... but seeing as we're already over half way, I'm going to stand in solidarity with all of you until $5.99 (5000), but my commiment is with handregs, so I don't want to see any many of my 100 domains taken by anyone else because I waited too long!

@Blitzpotz - To confirm, that's 450 total, or in addition to the 200 you mentioned earlier

If anyone else knows others looking for deals please contact them directly and/or tag them in this thread!

I can likely do 50. Maybe a little more!

I can register 30 domains.

Running count is now 2451 .com domains. If you're able to help out, please copy the list below and add your commitment into the list .. please like/thank this post if I got your commitment level correct, or copy/paste and correct the list into a new post if it's wrong:

???? - @Rob Monster's whale
0050 - @anantj ($5.99 or less)
0100 - @Ategy.com ($5.99 or less)
0200 - @blank ($5.99 or less)
0001 - @CJ6
0070 - @vravis9 ($5.99 or less)
0050 - @sapfir ($5.99 or less)
0030 - @getjimmy
0450 - @Blitzpotz ($5.49 only)
0600 - @DomMichael ($5.49 only)
1000 - @DomainNerdz ($5.49 only)
====
2551 + Rob's Whale

EDITED: @blank from 100 to 200

@turnhardtoeasy .. as far as I know it's just .com .. you'll have to ask @Rob Monster if .net or any other TLDs count (even if the price is different).

0100 - @blank ($5.99 or less)
I already transferred in some of the domains because they were quite "endangered"
Anyway - if we can reach $5.99 I'm in for another 200 - so correction would be:
0200 - @blank ($5.99 or less)

Great job @Ategy.com I wasn'ttrying to throw water on your excellent work. I just wanted to make sure we were not taking advantage of Rob's generosity. If he felt it could not be done I did not want your efforts to be wasted. Again great organizational skills, Just gotta keep an eye on that clock. 7 seconds matter.

Rob Monster said:

As for .COM backorders, they will remain at just $8.49 for all of October. It is first come first serve, so forget about hand-registering your dropcatches. For $8.49, if you are first in line at Epik, you will blow away just about anyone hand-registering or using APIs to dropcatch. @Gube has been hard at work with the engineers to introduce dropcatching upgrades that should allow Epik backorders to be fast but cheap. There are no auctions -- just first come first serve.

I think @Rob Monster's whale is beached! lol

Doesn't look like we're getting too much more interest .. I think most probably did a lot of transfers before the end of September.

I believe that this thread needs more time and more promotion. This forum is incredibly deep, sometimes you are astonished to find interesting elder items which you haven´t yet discovered though being already a forum´s slave regarding the number of alerts and visits.

Remember how much time and posts the last effort took when 300 Likes had to be collected.
Does anybody know if it is allowed by forum rules to inform all Likers of this in one post here or with DM´s?

Yesterday I checked my Whois settings. Every user should check them, some will be surprised.

It´s a disaster built on 12 years of domaining with so many providers and several provider changes back and forth.
Though there is the new standard of complete Whois privacy - simplified said - there are providers showing the organization name. I am no organization but my full sur- and last name is visible there in several cases as another setting of my Whois was not accepted by a provider or because I made a mistake or whatever.
In many cases my homeland region is visible in Whois. Assuming, that you live in Afghanistan-Bananastan (Quote Robert Redford) Whois readers can suggest your identity.

That said I will have to transfer much more names to finally correct and standardize my Whois settings. Because mass transfer is easier than try to correct Whois under current circumstances, the more so as some registrars want to be paid for full privacy with amazing additional fees.
But if I transfer in one go I am no big whale but a bleached coral reef. That´s why I cannot add numbers myself to the given 450 for now.

Where to transfer then, regardless the price?
This is no advertisement: Epik needs a minimum of input to transfer names. Download your full portfolio csv or xml list and open it in Excel, pair the columns Domain and Authcode, copy these and bulk paste into the order box. Don´t forget to unlock the names before you order. After the order you just have to accept transfers with your old registrar or not even that - here registrars act different - and Epik does the rest without any further confirmation needed.
Other registrars offer to bulk insert name and authcode in the order box, too. But when you did so and finished your order you have to write every single authcode again in another box. Horror.

Review and rethink, everybody.

damm, I got so caught up in getting the deal, I forgot about the one coming into fruition... if that's possible.

I had good intentions, but poor execution.. at least, can always say with pride, I was like #40, epik promo. Thanks for the courteous correction!

If Rob ever wants to have another like promo- make it post#1 of this thread —

It's not problem at all. Let Ategy know the qty so he can add to the tally.

@Ategy.com count me down for 10 total.

I want to transfer the rest of my names, and i really believe in what Rob’s trying to build.

Thanks @Ategy.com for your efforts to bring a deal and
Thanks @Rob Monster for the support and accepting.

I will wait another 48 hrs to see if any deal is offered... afterwards, i will go ahead with transfers and registrations...

this is not going to save money for me but can loose names if more delayed.

Good luck to you all...

Thanks,
Ravi.

If you are in a hurry: Are you aware that .com transfer to Epik is already down to $7.49 the whole month?

On the other hand we already have met the threshold for $6.49.

Rob Monster said:

500+ .COM Transfers: $6.99 for 3 hours for both Creates and Transfers.

2500+ .COM Transfers: $6.49 for 6 hours for both Creates and Transfers.

5000+ .COM Transfers: $5.99 for 12 hours for both Creates and Transfers.

10,000+ .COM Transfers: $5.49 for 24 hours for both Creates and Transfers. (WOW!)

Click to expand...

So how about a flexible model by phasing down the transfer fee @Rob Monster?
Customers could decide to transfer now for $6.49 or wait until the $5.99 threshold is taken etc. Everybody´s needs would be satisfied best and Epik could win a maximum of new customers and domains for a higher, moving average fee.

Yes @Blitzpotz I am aware of that...

And not a new customer and transferred few last month...

And I am in hurry in terms of expiry date for my names which I want to move to Epik...so the situation..

And I think I already got deals from Epik.. may utilise more when they offer. Till then have to secure my names before it's too late.

Thanks,
Ravi

tsf = $6.49 or $7.49?
