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.

My experience with epik chat 2 days ago sucked. Twice now I have contacted chat to inform them that domains that were mine, sold to @Samer or pushed via nameliquid ate contain information that should not transfer with name

Correct @Samer ? I sold you a 4L and month later my google analytics code was still in there?
My background picture with dolphins still displayed?

I add google analytics, some seo, background pictures, but when a name transfers between epik accounts info retains the inside domain particulars. So 10 months after I dumped say 420madness for 9$ at nameliquidate, I am still getting google analytics that they get a view a week.

This is happening with half dozen names. I want my analytics off those names.
I contacted chat month or 2 ago, blah blah blah, pass it on to tech team.

The other day was like waking up and talking to a 10 year old, not quite fluent in english. Transcript below:

Can you remove my google analytics from following domain names please? "domains removed for obvious reasons"

END OF CHAT
17 minutes??
Thats pathetic customer service @Rob Monster revoltingly disgusting,
No Thanks for contacting Epik Support, no thank you for using epik.com at end of conversation
took long enough to ask my very personal login info, to some no name hired hand
Wrong answers, and my effing google analytics are still showing on names I dont own.
Thats a bug, something I have notified your company in the past.

You need to fix the problem when a domain goes from epik member to epik member that all internal info does not follow along.
You also need to get my google analytics off names i dont own.

You should also look into hiring some pro customer service people like namecheap.
Russian pro, putin flavour, so pro installed my ssl that i bought there, using hosting i bought there, course my domain name is there. So professional and courteous

Ask ANAND why it takes him 10 minutes before he can squeeze out a "hi" when i client enters chat. yaya its midnight there, I know
4pm where i live


I will pm you a list rob, with domains not in my possesion anymore, that still display my google analytics because of your company bug. Exterminate the bug and remove my analytics from those names please and thank you in advance

LAST but not least, what happened to showing time in chat box, I had no idea how long it was between my opening chat and anand reply cause you have removed the clock from chat module.
Like going into dr office, no clock lol

So 1 year elapsed at Epik landers...
No sales for me with BIN domains...
~20 inquiries... but nothing really interesting.

@Epik.com, I've seen questions/answers above regarding bitcoin and the ability to have that show to potential buyers (by changing settings).

My thought/question is: Is it possible now or in the near future for us to have the option to show both on the landing page(s)? It would be awesome to have the USD ($) amount show as well as the price via bitcoin just underneath with its own 'buy' button.

Just had someone reach out to me, regarding one of my higher priced domains, I've been interacting with for a while and let me know they picked up another name from someone else. After a few email exchanges, they told me it was because of their recent gains in bitcoin (giving them the ability to get a higher value name) and the fact the other seller accepted it as payment.

Of course I let them know I/Epik accept it as well but they insist they never noticed it. The name they acquired is a much longer version of the one I have and they will likely come back one day...having the display of payment options I describe above would be helpful (on this and other names as well).

Hi Mr Funsky,

I'm not in the BC space so perhaps I dont understand.
But if you posted the price for BC equal to the USD today, couldnt that % change over a period of time and either the BC price is too high, or too low.

If there were some badazzed coding trick that would update the price in real time, that might solve the problem, but if you were having to monitor / update the price on "how ever many" domains daily, weekly, even monthly, that might be a chore.

That might be a huge commitment on Epiks part.
But I bet they have the skills.

I could be wrong.... please let me know if I missed something here. Thanks.

Good Luck.

Peace,
Kenny

Hi Kenny,

I hope things are going well in your world and everyone is healthy and happy.

If I understand other posts by Epik and/or an employee, bitcoin can be selected as a payment option (I will admit I have not tried to reset it to test it). There was an example posted somewhere showing a buy now button with a bitcoin price. My assumption it was pulling the data of the current bitcoin price and doing the appropriate calculations.

It makes sense to me they have it coded to do that since the price is so volatile...or maybe the calculation is done at checkout. That is one reason why I asked the question.

But now we are pushing 48 hours with no response from anyone. So, I will let it go...as the wise sage of a few years ago said "I ain't got time for that (this)". :xf.smile:

Nevertheless not even cryptocurrency markets have the same value so I would suggest dollars or euros as it’s a lesser of a rollercoaster for now at least

It can, but usually not directly.
It should show in USD at checkout, and then the user pays by selecting "Bitcoin" as payment method. And that works with a BTCPay server, this is where the USD/BTC rate should be retrieved for the correct BTC amount.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post...it would be awesome if a marketplace made a real time conversion possible (maybe someone does but I haven't started looking yet).

Considering those wanting to 'cash out' a little, it could provide additional sales.

is there a URL to forward a domain to for parking, instead of using nameservers?

If you want to use our parking services, you need to use our nameservers.

Yes, the latter. I have email set up so that's why I ask.

Thanks Lambo.

Interesting request. So, like URL structure:

epik.com/lander/domain

Is that your idea or some other URL path?

I'd like to have a URL too for the SSL landers or parking, that I can use with DNS providers who offer CNAME flattening - ANAME, when for any reason I can't use Epik nameservers.
