With NS you can use one domain and add external domains to the MarketSite. You seriously believe having to have one domain at the registrar is "Bait and Switch"?

If you use this discount you can register/transfer/renew .com for $8.10 WAY lower than most other registrars. Without volume discounting, that's incredible. Registrars profit margins are thin.

Price isn't everything, support and features are important considerations. I was a customer of Epik before and so far customer support has been good.

Do you need a domain at Epik to use the MarketPlace feature? Perhaps Roy @RL or someone else wants to chime in?

 

[alcy]

epik has very nice support and nice features

but the interface is the slowest one I experienced just about anywhere..

as price comparaisons.. 10$ to reg a .com is terrible.

8.1$ to transfer .com is great. I get 8.2 to transfer to godaddy but i have to pay $80 to get domain club. it's also then 8.5 to reg new and to renew .com there.

not sure what epik renewal fee is for .com?

if its also around $10 then there is no point going to epik.

if its 8.1$ or close to it.. well.. then its at least compettitive.

but the speed of that interface needs some work.
it's bad.

cheers.

Yes, if they advertise this new feature here at NP as free and open to all domains and are ambiguous about the aforementioned limitations in their CP.

Frankly, I would have gladly transferred one or more expiring domains to Namesilo if they clearly stated that up front and hadn't ticked me off big time by wasting my time with this whole Marketplaces PITA of theirs (my bad, too, first adding almost a thousand domains to the CP, before trying to configure my Marketplace... ooops!)

Lesson learned. Hence, found similar limitation at Epik first thing, attempting to set up a Marketplace before anything else

@alcy - $8.10 renewal price is correct (thanks @Adam27 ) As for interface speed, I will mention to the dev team for sure. Thank you for your feedback!
@HKIBC - check PM please.

2FA account security?

 

[StargateCapital]

@LucidDomains - 2FA on Epik

 

[internext]

+1 @very slow... but fantastic so far otherwise
3 handreg domains complete so far. Will transfer some in soon

 

[StargateCapital]

@internext - great! thank you - I've let our devs know about the speed issue.

 

[LucidDomains]

Free whois protection for 1 year or forever?

 

[StargateCapital]

@LucidDomains - There's no charge for our Whois Privacy Protection, so Forever!

 

[internext]

Any plans for a smartphone app?

 

[StargateCapital]

@LucidDomains - Sure do! Currently in development. Will have more details on that in the near future. I can't wait for it either!

$8.10 .com registration/renewal/transfer with free privacy. Can't beat that!

Don't understand why someone won't spend money to try the Epik marketplace feature.

 

[StargateCapital]

@Adam27 - thanks for the endorsement We can now waive the domain registration requirement for the Epik.com Marketplace so that everyone can try it out free of charge. Just PM me or reply to this thread, thank you!

Your 15 days grace after expiration period is nuts, just like Godaddy's. Dynadot offers 40 days.
Are there any plans to make it reasonable?

 

[LucidDomains]

NameSilo also offers 31-33 if I recall correctly, 15 days is too little!

 

[googli]

What do you do with the domains when the Registrant fails to renew them?

a) Auction them at platforms like Namejet
b) Auction them at your marketplace
c) Delete them from registry
d) Keep it for yourself (Push to Rob's account)

So, have you tried it yet?
Can you post a brief review?

@internext - great! thank you - I've let our devs know about the speed issue.

Recommend having one of them test drive NameSilo's CP. It's one of the most responsive - responsive, as in fastest

As mentioned earlier, I'd added close to 1000 domains, all to no avail, but a pretty good test drive of their CP... smooooth! GoDaddy, Uniregistry, Efty - eat your heart out!

One other thing: forget about customers from China! Only thing loading is your page header, then it hangs... maybe related to use of Google apps in your site code?
