Hello everyone,

I'm creating this post to keep you all informed of Epik.com Happy Hours!
Every day, we'll try to discount an extension and give you the chance to register & invest in this extension.

Today, we're featuring .US extension, and we're discounting it to $1.50 for new registrations starting now, and will be ON for the next 5 hours.

The following is a list of all domain names that have been registered previously before under .US, and are available one more time for registration: https://armored.net/index.php/s/t9rf2GLm4JktQWn

Remember, all domains registered at Epik include:
- Free WHOIS privacy
- Free SSL parking landers
- Free forwarding
- Free basic Wordpress site
- Free listing in Epik marketplace for selling/leasing

Here is also a link to ALL promos that we're currently running, in case you wanted to look into something different: https://www.epik.com/promos/

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Also, let me know what extensions you'd be interested to see featuring in our future Happy Hours! We'll do our best to accommodate all requests.

As promised, the $6.99 .COM transfer promo is on. We'll keep it open until the CFO says to ramp it down as this is hard loss.

Please clear domain sales and escrow transactions through Epik to keep the CFO happy. My business case for justifying these loss-making promos is that domains on Epik will use Epik for escrow and marketplace.

More great promos are coming after some successful discussions with registry operators in NamesCon led by @Sufyan Alani.

Thank you for the discount...every penny, dime and dollar helps (I just buy more names)!

Every sales pitch I make has reference to the savings epik escrow can give the buyer...as far as marketplace goes, I've asked somewhere here (not sure what thread off hand) if there is anyway the ssl landers can be used when linking through voodoo. I would prefer they land on the ssl page with a buy it now button over my having to drop everything to explain to the inquiry why I dont take escrow.com. I would much rather pay the 9% and find the funds in my masterbucks in the morning!

Exactly. The funds are instantly available on Epik after a sale completes.

Also, most Masterbucks redemption requests are processed on the same day. We are working on automating this completely for verified accounts.

Thanks for the support and endorsement!

Please give us at least 1-day warning as I'm preparing another batch to transfer next week.

It's still on .. I was making a few transfer and didn't even realise there was a promo on until I had everything in my cart! lol .. Nice surprise!

I suspect the CFO probably doesn't work on weekends, so I'd say chances are good that you're good for the weekend!? lol

Here is a clever little affiliate trick:

http://getyourco.co

This was set up by @franka46. He just does a URL redirect for his affiliate code.

Just FYI, we are going to have a BLOWOUT .CO promo starting Tuesday.

It is going to be $1.99 for GA .CO domains.

The .CO is our second best after-market TLD with many domains selling in 4 and 5 figures. I even saw a 6 figure offer recently.

For domains where the .COM is totally locked down, I believe .CO is the next best thing. So, if you can find a .CO domain that is a compelling URL shortener for multiple bidders, you might have a winner.

Thanks to @Sufyan Alani for getting this done.

6 figure for a 2L/3L or single word?

BTW .. This reminded me I had a pending offer of $10,000,000 for a popular name in .biz .. I just accepted it .. keep an eye on it for me.

.CO are pretty solid though .. but people need to keep the domains very simple. Common single word or single term.

The problem is that about a year ago they added tons of domains to the "premium" tier .. so you can't get the actual domains that sell with promo pricing anymore. Well .. you can probably find a few .. but nothing at all compared to before. It's too bad .. because the old .CO business model worked well for me.

I honestly haven't checked much lately .. I'll be sure to try to find a few domains next week .. at $1.99 always worth a bit of a gamble if you can find half decent names.

The 6- figure offer was a Chinese word - 3L .CO.

Because of the higher renewal fees, you see a steady expiry stream. We put together a great program with Neustar for several of their gTLDs but I am particularly excited about .CO. I like the pattern of asymmetric return of buy for $1.99 and sell for hundreds or thousands either via quick flip or passive selling via SSL landing pages and waiting for your bid. There are some folks here who are very adept at finding the names. I will see if we produce a list of .CO domains that were previously registered. We have done that before and it helped a bunch of people.

I see folks are picking up the deals at $1.99.

Truth be told -- the registry is making the GA deals harder to find. They have made many .CO domains that were previously GA into premium.

We are in contact with the registry to see what is up with that to see if we can get names put back to GA that were previously GA.

We have all the data and might make it a topic for public debate but first trying to make a constructive effort towards reasonable compromise on this issue.

I still managed to find a good name. According to Estibot (which I don't actually rely on), my ROI should be 20,400% :xf.laugh: That is, if I manage to sell the domain in the first year.

Of course, at a $1.99 investment, that ROI doesn't mean much. But it wouldn't be bad at all.

The trick to finding GA domains (non premium) is to select .NET and .ORG under "Name in selected TLD is available" ExpiredDomains.net The averages go from 5% GA to almost 95% GA names. Still some deals to be had there.

I went with a $8.49 .com transfer this morning. I've received so many $6.99 (and less!) transfers so why not! :)
