How good is NameSilo?

[nixgurus]

Hello Guys,

I want to know about namesilo. How good they are? Any disadvantage having domains with them?

Currently I am using Godaddy, Name.com and namecheap

 

[CloudTech]

I have a small suggestion,

Is it possible to integrate dns setting, renewal setting, locking setting, and etc. to different PROFILE settings?
Similar to the profile setting of Epik and Dynadot.

And the default domain setting does not apply to incoming pushed domains.
It is not good.
I have put forward this to support at NS years ago.

 

[Kristaps @ NameSilo]

Can you please PM me with the idea and we can go back and forth there to flush out the concept

Another small suggestion,


When you edit NS, locking, renewal setting, etc. of a specific domain,
and click submit,

the page should return to the Domain Console page of that domain,
such as,

https://www.namesilo.com/account_do...0ZmtmAGZ1Zmx=nr967nnnr10prn7qos9q289r9o58q67r


not to the account Domain Manager page,
https://www.namesilo.com/account_domains.php

I have another small suggestion,

It would be great if you add bulk search and bulk adding to watch function for NameSilo Marketplace,

https://www.namesilo.com/Marketplace

similar to the bulk search of Domain Manager,

https://www.namesilo.com/account_domains.php

Search for a list of domains
You can search for up to 500 domains in the box below. Add one domain per line.

It will be great if NameSilo revert to the old UI.
Could not accustomed to this New UI.

And it seems a lot of customers do not like it too.

@Kristaps @ NameSilo

Can you clarify on which specific pages you're experiencing issues? The main account pages (once logged in) are still under the old UI, it's predominantly the homepage and product pages which have been updated to the new UI. Would help to understand which pages you're having trouble on.

I'd prefer any and all new pages to be reverted back. Transfer-in page is new, I actively do not like it. The original one was easy and convinient, the new one is not. Etc...

@namesilo

Thank you for your kind feedback.
Yes.
All back, please.

And please check my several suggestions before this post.
Thank you very much!

Please.

No more hCaptcha verification for logged in members any more.

Really annoying.

Thank you for your feedback. Reverting back isn't really an option because the old pages weren't mobile friendly and the majority user feedback we have received favours the newer pages. If there are specific features or functionalities not working as well as before though, please let us know and we'll do our best to keep improving them.

With regards to the Captcha, it should only trigger when the IP behaviour may be caught up in some bot activity. If you're repeatedly seeing it, please email us at [email protected] with your IP and we'll whitelist you.

@namesilo, what about the 60 days transfer lock, when a domain was transferred to namesilo, so that our domains will be eligible for afternic premium network and sedo MLS right away and we don't have to wait 60 days? If epik and a few others can do it, why not namesilo? I think you will gain many more customers with this feature.

Is it possible to expedite the transfer out of NameSilo? It's a long time since I've done this. When I get the acknowledgement of transfer, I thought you could click on that link and expedite the transfer. But the link only allows cancel of transfer. So is it true that you cannot expedite a transfer out of NameSilo? As I said, it's been a long time since I last did a transfer out there.

 

[DomainBanana]

Yes, go to the Transfer Manager page:

Thank you. I found it

Namecheap and Godaddy is my best choice for buying domains. Godaddy offers really cheap prices for the first year. Namecheap pricing is also good, but I prefer them for really cheap security features. Godaddy and Namecheap offer very fast services in the domains section.

@namesilo is it possible to use a Virtual CC to make purchases on your website and if so, how does one verify it?

For security reasons, we cannot verify virtual or prepaid cards. Please re-submit a physical card in your name if you wish to have it verified. Alternatively, you can still use your virtual card for pay-as-you-go purchases across our site but we simply won't be able to verify it for auto-billing.

Cannot find an old namesilo development thread. Must be too old...
Is it just me, or something is wrong with Namesilo-Afternic integration? Fast transfer in particular. Submitted a few NameSilo-regged domains with BIN to Afternic earlier today. Received a link from NameSilo to approve fast transfer. Clicked as usual. Nothing. No fast transfer approval arrived to Afternic, domains are shown as eligible but not activated with fast transfer. Moreover, in August a few Afternic sales of NameSilo-regged domains with previously set fast transfer had all sorts of issues (delayed transfers, repeated attempts from Afternic to start the transfer, and in one case _fast_ meant ~4 days of pendingtransfer).
Anybody else noticed this?
