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.
Working with the Department of Justice is as hard as you can try to even put a dent

At least they're trying.

I believe the truth will come in time. We're all so quick to judge;
.... not a fan of the mischaracterization in the Mashable article.

WTF is with this "alt right" nonsense?
We are patrons. This news isn't good. I wouldn't want to hear this about any company I work with. Personally, I stretched my own morals using Epik knowing their association with recognized, controversial organizations.

And by the way @Intelliname , the worst thing on planet earth that you could do is try to invoke the republican party with open associations with alt right clients.

They denounce what you defend. Your reference hurts Republicans.

Yes that someone "close" will be the cause of the demise and fall.

Give me a break.

Hopefully it will hold in court; but these outside forces dont seem amicable :(
Those outside forces are called competitors. It is possible to grow and not make enemies.

@Samer i can seem anonymous, that's my personal opinion, cos' i'm not belonging to any company in recently.

As you have never met and/or talked with any CEO than @Rob Monster, i feel your desire by the way.

As @OnlineDomainCom mentioned that, "You're running registrar, but why're you "still" into all these dramas?

Epik is lasting their best days, be sure.

While some company are against to them, they try to defame them, or create an alternative.

Freedom speech turns into hate speech, cos' it's their only monopoly.

And now, we're into politics, as whole world thinks about Epik what would do in any circustomences.

Wish you all healthy days and good luck.

Wake up please. This isn't about your negative judgement or externally influenced views of Epik and the information you have been fed. PayPal is cancelling accounts of companies based on their political affiliations.

This is absolute nonsense. Companies don't do business based on political affiliation, religion, or race. They do business based on who pays and who doesn't. If they have a political preference then they lobby the government or send contributions out of sight. Epik is shooting itself in the foot by making their spats with established businesses public such as with escrow.com, dan.com, and now paypal.com.

Forgot about Dan. Add in Wikipedia to that list as well. Always some drama I don't see other registrars getting themselves into.

Nope. They dont relate,
nice try

What do you mean they don’t relate?

Epik is the center of a drama or battle with someone every couple months. Just about the time it gets quiet some other drama comes to the surface. All those things listed happened in the last year or two!

How many more dramas, controversies and public fights does it take before people begin to assume the problem is the common denominator in all those fights——is Epik.

We have a diverse crowd of domainers here and while some love to engage in a lively discussion, we are not helping to resolve this situation with our inputs at this time. Lets have some patience and faith in a speedy agreeable resolution.

Unwarranted, or poorly communicated actions of cancelling essential business services affects all of us directly and indirectly. Healthy competition leads to competitive pricing and innovation for all. It will benefit us, domainers, the most when the facts come out and amicable resolutions are found.

It is true, political landscape has been becoming very polarized, social media and the public square of free speech is changing and many sociocultural ideas are being redefined. I side with having more options and more alternatives rather than less and it is not in my nature to want to limit others in that sense.

Hoping Paypal acts in good faith and with responsibility of being a dominant provider of digital payments and provides equal access to its services. Jberryhill continues to teach nightly TM Law courses on NP. And Epik staff are left to improve the domaining business.

Imho, from customers point of view, "masterbucks" - as we see it - is nothing but marketing trick to help the $$$ remain inside epik systems. It is not a paypal alternative, and never was. There might be a plan to set it as such, but it was just a plan...Tax advantages? It was incorrect wording, good that it was removed. Paypal (if one asks them) will say that they are aware of competitors like Skrill (EU-based) or Yandex Money (RU-based) or other country-specific systems, but Masterbucks? Definitely no. So, Paypal by itself should not bother about "masterbucks". Imo. However, if somebody explicitly showed it to them, and asked to check, then this would be another story...

This thread is now educational. Thank you @jberryhill for participating! Honestly. It appears that John is the only 100% independent expert here at this time, as his not a domainer (ok, to the best of my knowledge, lol) and he does not provide legal services to either paypal or epik...

I'm confused. @Intelliname are you an official Epik spokesperson? Who is Robert Davis?

The PR problems Epik has had are due, imo, to their own publicly expressed positions and their own decisions. There is nothing for Epik to gain by expressing conservative (or liberal) positions as a centerpoint of their business philosophy. Consumers will always have differing opinions and this is why I have always suggested leaving political positions at the door. A clear, well-enforced TOS normally eliminates many of the image problems Epik is facing.

The business problems Epik is having is due, in part, imo, to miscalculating their growth strategy, and creating enemies instead of allies in a still developing, relatively small industry.

To me, it's not that complicated. It's weak management.

Robert Davis is @Intelliname so he is the SVP of Communications of Epik.

The registrar part seems up, but the main one seems to be having an origin issue..
east.epik.com or registrar.epik.com depending on the version you need to access (to manage your existing names)

Epik site is also down here as well. I need someone at Epik to reach out and assure the account holders that the business is up and running without any disruptions...
