Alongside launching ownership verification today, Afternic is excited to announce our lander selection update!
In short, this update changes how you switch between Request Price, Buy it Now (BIN), and Cashparking landing pages at Afternic.
From now on, customers already using Afternic nameservers will now use Afternic’s portfolio dashboard to update their landing page settings either individually or in bulk. You will not need to change Afternic nameservers to change landing pages.
For customers adding domain names to Afternic, here is our recommended flow going forward:
Why have we done this?
In the past, selecting your landing page at Afternic would require you to change to specific nameservers. This limited our ability to add new lander types.
Switching to this lander selection system paves the way for us to add more lander types in the future. For example, lease to own landing pages.
For a first look at lander selection and our ownership verification update, read this blog post from @James Iles.
FAQs
Do I need to change Afternic nameservers to change my landing page?
As long as you’re pointing to Afternic nameservers (for example, ns1.afternic.com and ns2.afternic.com), you will change your lander type via Afternic’s portfolio page from now on.
Will Afternic remember my current landing page settings?
Afternic’s team has backfilled landing page preferences. Your current Afternic landing page preferences are shown under the new “Sales Lander” column on your portfolio page. From now on, you will change your lander type via Afternic’s portfolio page.
If I’m already using Afternic nameserver settings, do I need to update my nameservers to access the new lander selection?
If your domain is currently using an existing Afternic nameserver, you do not need to make any changes to your nameserver settings. The lander settings will now be determined by the lander selection in the UI rather than the nameservers.
If your domain is not using the Afternic nameserver, you will need to update your domain to use one of our nameserver configurations and then select the lander type in the UI.
How long will it take for my lander page to update to the new lander settings?
If your lander is currently using an Afternic nameserver, the lander changes should take effect almost immediately.
If you have just updated the nameservers to Afternic, please allow 24-48 hours to see the lander changes take effect.
If I add domain names to Afternic, and I use an Afternic nameserver configuration, which landing page will it default to?
Lander selection will default your domain to our Request Price landing page. If you want to change that, you should visit your Afternic portfolio page and change the Sales Lander settings.

- If you want to change the landing page that is shown, this will be done through your Afternic portfolio page
- Any changes to your Afternic landing page selection will, in the future, be actioned from your Afternic portfolio page
