news NamePros Landers with Buy Now, Escrow.com integration, and much more

Hey, domain sellers!

We have a special surprise for you.

Continuing from last year (and last week), we have some exciting updates to share with you about NamePros Parking Landers!

First, consider this:

You price your domain name at $2,500. For years, hundreds of interested buyers want to buy it, but the price is too high for them. They don't even try to contact you because they don't realize that the price is negotiable or may change. Years later, you decide to lower the price to $995. How many previously-interested buyers would buy it at this lowered price? You’d never know — until now!

With our new Buy Now options, you can finally contact those previous buyers to increase your sales opportunities.

Here’s how:

Our landers have an option that requires buyers to confirm their email address before they can see the price. Once confirmed, the price is available to them and their email address is available to you. Simple and effective. Learn more on DNW.com.

Want to see more styles and options? Visit our live demo domains!

Now, let’s talk new features!​

• Buy Now: Add a Buy button with a sales price and payment options for buyers to purchase your domains.
  • Escrow.com (Recommended): Starts an Escrow.com transaction for you and allows the buyer to pay immediately.
  • PayPal: Creates a PayPal transaction for the buyer to pay directly to your PayPal account.
  • Email: You and the buyer use email to choose a payment method (e.g., crypto), discuss lease-to-own (LTO) options, etc.
• Location: Country, region (e.g., state or province), and locality (e.g., city, town, or village) of your inquirers to help you understand where they are located, the best time to contact them, etc.
• Bulk Management: Set options on multiple domains at the same time: prices, payment methods, appearance, etc. using our website's interface or your favorite spreadsheet software (e.g., Google Sheets).
  • Bulk Edit: Export, Edit, and Upload to apply your changes all at once.
• Exports: Download a list of your domains and their settings, customizations, and inquiries, including buyers’ email addresses, offers, etc. (CSV format.)
• Domain Verification: Verify your domains by using any of these methods: name servers (NS), CNAME, or TXT records.
• Supersonic Speed Boost: Our landers already loaded blazingly fast, but now they’re even faster — a powerful increase in performance!
  • For techies: Go, Redis, and Elastic (previously only: PHP and MySQL)

Wait, there’s more!

PRO TIP: There is a common misconception about how many domain sales happen because of marketplaces. In reality, many sales would still happen (and do happen) without the help of a marketplace, so NamePros is providing a free solution to sell domains and you keep 100% of your profit.

Our for-sale parking service is 100% free:​

• No upfront fees
• No monthly fees
• No commission (0%)
• No upgraded account necessary
• 100% of your sales belong to you!

How does all that sound?

Visit namepros.com/parking to get started!

Tip: Quickly access your parking dashboard using the "Sell" dropdown menu at the top.

ns2.namepros-dns.com

This one is wrong; using this is a very common mistake among many users.

You can find the correct two nameservers on the following page:

• https://www.namepros.com/parking/domains/verify

Please set those so your domains can be verified.

 

[chungbonggil]

Name server
ns1.namepros-dns.com
[redacted].namepros-dns.is

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Name server
ns1.namepros-dns.com
[redacted].namepros-dns.is

Correct; your domains are now verified.

Good job!

This is MAJOR. TY guys.

@Bravo Mod Team, rather than use the pull down feature by selecting 'sell', how about a direct link to parking dashboard on main page? (see red 'x' in image below)

Use the 'More' tab. Parking is the first item on the list.

Yes, it works similar to using the sell tab...still takes an extra step. It would be nice to get there in one move rather than two. (I suffer from LFS - Lazy Finger Syndrome)

My case is worse: I keep resorting to my account dashboard first, then I remember and go to Sell etc.

Eventually, “Sell” will lead directly to there, but until then, we’ve added a “Park” tab.

To say that was a speedy addition would be an understatement!

Getting notices about this, just had a couple of questions.

Is Lease to Own an option? For me that has to be part of the deal for my landers.

Have you guys considered buying a domain, starting a new site dedicated to this project, you can still keep what you have going here at NP. Dan showed everybody the working model but GoDaddy bought them and looks like they're going to kill/integrate them. Just do another Dan type site, then go swimming in all the money you'll make from it.

This feature is ready, but we’re waiting on the legal terms for it before we enable it for everyone. The terms should be finished any day now.

We feel that a free solution is valuable to the industry, but a separate domain might make sense at some point.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Whilst gazing at my crystal ball earlier today (maybe it was just the light over the surgeons shoulder---the meds were GREAT!) I saw a stand alone site for parking and sales operated by the NP's team.

A completely new level of paid membership will be created to off-set the expenses of breaking away that will offer mind boggling functionality (am I close? ).

Hi @TroyBodis ,any chance this namepros lander be added to the settings page in the future?

Just like we can forward to Dan,sedo and other landers from domain settings .

I hope @NamePros also work with bodis so this can be implemented.

Thank you .

 

[Skyvisum]

I also suggest @NamePros reach out to escrowdomains.com owner, to see if they can work together so. They can be added as an option for payment.

Thank you guys for bringing us an alternative lander , to help save on commission .Love the clean looking lander.

Thank you for your suggestions; we appreciate them! We've reached out to Escrow.Domains a couple times.

It might help encourage them to make it happen sooner if more of their customers, like you and others, reach out to let them know that you'd also like their escrow services integrated with NamePros Landers.

Every little bit helps.

Excellent idea.

Welcome in the NamePros Parking thread, @stevanlieberman

Would you be willing to offer an automated version of your Escrow services that -- in collaboration with the NamePros Parking team -- can be tailored to fit the NamePros domain parking landers?

Email is probably most effective, but:

Every little bit helps.

Phone is also good.

Also if is possible to create a box when we can write few words about domain/s
+ if is set BuyNow price to be show without verification because if is set a low price $10 to $ 100 will be more easy for buyer to buy / make payment via Paypal or Escrow...to simplify the process
...just a idea
