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?

Unfortunately, it’s really easy to choose an image that makes it difficult to read the text that appears on top of it, without realizing it. For example, it may look legible on desktop but not on mobile, or vice versa.

No, I totally understand and I'm really just looking for something a Canada-flag red Header Background color with maybe a white Maple Leaf off in the top right or left corner, or top-middle, or just somewhere where it's not going to interfere with the Domain Text.

Something stylized like this (free image), on a red background would work great for me.

 

[NameGroove]

Agreed. The new chart feature at Dynadot is a nice addition.

What is this? Where do I find it?

@Bravo Mod Team ,Grok can now make logo .Please add these feature and make it easy to upload image and logo.

This is a game changer.

Sorry, just spotted your post.

When using their for sale landers, it is an option in the same area as the toggle for Trust Pilot. If you switch it on, it will show a graph of recent visits on the sale page.

I was going to a couple of weekends ago when they had that 40% off sale but didnt get around to it. Perhaps they'll have it again before year's end.

@Bravo Mod Team ,Grok can now make logo .Please add these feature and make it easy to upload image and logo.

This is a game changer.

Grok doesn't make good logos anymore. They changed something and now the logos are bad, they take longer to make, and they have Grok watermarks on them.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Grok can now make logo. Please add these feature and make it easy to upload image and logo.

We’re adding support to upload images directly to your landers.

Then users can use Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any other service to create their images.

Namepros Branding on Lander is a good idea or not?

Namepros Branding on Lander is a good idea or not?

The better Q is how many sales were from using np

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

The better Q is how many sales were from using np

Proportionally speaking, the data suggests that it’s as many sales as any other lander. Possibly more. It’s impossible to know for certain because lander services don’t publish every sale and our sellers handle their sales outside of NamePros, but we can make estimates based on available data.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Namepros Branding on Lander is a good idea or not?

Hot topic. The biggest sales we’ve seen have had our branding on them, but it probably has little to no effect on sales, regardless of which is chosen.

One more Question @Bravo Mod Team if a buyer made an offer this will show in my namepros parking dashboard or it only will go in parking email?

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

if a buyer made an offer this will show in my namepros parking dashboard or it only will go in parking email?

Both, unless your domain wasn't verified at the time of the inquiry, in which case you'll be able to access it in the dashboard and then email it to yourself using the envelop icon next to it.

I have a lead who has finally responded after 2 months. He asked what is the monthly cost is if he rents the domain (doesnt lease).

I found this on escrow.com
https://www.escrow.com/support/faqs/what-is-a-domain-name-holding-transaction

Am I calculating this correct, based on escrow's formula? Asking price (BIN) is $28,888 and term would be 12 months:
(.02% of ($28,888)) * 12 = $69.33 / month

I do not think I did that correctly and likely would not agree to taking in $69 a month for that domain but I am asking if anyone has experience with this and if I did that calculation properly?

Thanks in advance. I am off to get a root canal so if I dont promptly reply here today then that is why. Much appreciated!

UPDATE: Just noticed that the $69.33 is escrow.com's fee. So now my question I guess I negotiate a monthly rental amount which is likely less than what it would be for lease to own monthly calculations? Never did a rental (no ownership before).

He asked what is the monthly cost is if he rents the domain (doesnt lease).

Renting and leasing are the same in domain sales:

• Any number of months (2+ months)
• Cancel anytime without penalty
• Can negotiate an extension (additional months) or buyout options at any time.
• Legally binding agreement

Escrow.com calls it “Lease Only” on their website.

It’s called lease to own (LTO) if the agreement is that the buyer receives the domain after paying you the full amount, on time.

Escrow.com categorizes this under “Lease with Purchase” on their website.

Without the “to own” part, it’s just a standard lease/rental agreement.

(.02% of ($28,888)) * 12 = $69.33 / month

The total fee is $69.33; it’s paid in full, upfront (taken from the buyer’s first payment), and it’s paid only one time (not monthly).

So now my question I guess I negotiate a monthly rental amount which is likely less than what it would be for lease to own monthly calculations? Never did a rental (no ownership before).

Escrow.com is to protect the buyer in this scenario. The buyer will almost certainly be happy to pay ~$70 extra for that protection, but if you’re concerned about it, then you could pay it (Escrow.com would deduct it from the buyer’s first payment and then send you the rest).

Just focus on finding a monthly payment that works for the buyer and then ask how many months they want to lock in that price (e.g., 12 to 60 months).

This is very much appreciated! Thank you. Will read this over a few times as I am still loopy from the dental work. I thank you!
