Looks like there is bug on epik.com..i am trying to register by clicking on the "Register New account" link and everytime it is throwing error" ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" even though i have cleared the cookies and it is landing to the page "east.epik.com"

Then there is another register link on google which mentions as "epik.video".
i wonder how many register links are there & which one is the correct link to register

Please suggest. Thanks

Unfortunately, it's only for new creates!

How many domain names are you transferring?

 

[Sufyan Alani]

Thank you Rob for the .COM and .ORG deals!

You bet!

We're also working on more extensions, and more deals. Stay tuned!

For all the folks who are doing hand-reg of .COM during the drop:

- Your catch rate will improve if you pre-fund your account. Merchant processing and PayPal are relatively slow. Charges from balance are instant.

- Use only bulk search as it does not check anything but the exact domain you are seeking. Here is a short cut: epik.com/bulk

- You can enable express checkout. It skips the cart steps and goes right to fast-track registry request.

@Rob Monster Can you check your PMs please.

Does EPIK have a drop API? Something that could we use to try and catch names which are lower end and often get ignored by big drop catchers?

There are no API commands for the backorder feature yet but we just finished a big API upgrade for marketplace and escrow. We'll add some backorder API commands next. Gube will keep the group updated as that comes online. In the meantime, we have backorders and also fast low-cost hand-registration with express checkout. We also have the option of a 5-day domain tasting window for those who want that.

Just to make sure, backorders are first come first served right? I'm watching a domain and want to give this a shot. It's not pending delete yet but I could place the backorder way in advance to secure my spot at Epik?

On another note, any insight on your success rate in catching the names?

Would be interesting to get feedback from people who placed backorders at multiple venues to see how well you're performing.

How do I check if my profile has NP pricing setup? Do I need to place an actual backorder for tomorrow's drop to check that?
