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.

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.

P.S. Our announcement last week was not a prank. Spatial Scrolling™ is real, courtesy of NamePros innovation! 🤯

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
Content providers, of course, do both mass marketing & target marketing.
Publishers are inundated with offers from services. For us to get their attention and potentially garner their interest, we have to bring something substantial to the table: a massive network of traffic from having lots of domains parked with us. Then there will be incentive for them to work with us.

Any possibility to automatically direct an email after verification into like say Mailchimp so we can have a multiple email drip campaign running?
Major CRM’s have an email address for importing leads into them. You can set that as your parking email address within NamePros Parking.

Most of them also have an email syncing/importing feature so that the CRM can pull leads from your own email account into the CRM.

Is there another option that you need?

Any ideas being pulled from the Reverb.com examples I sent previously?
Not yet, but thanks for keeping it top of mind for us.

BTW, thank you for being innovative with your parking and soon to be marketplace platform. :)
Thank you for your gratitude. 😊

I see that it's working and domain shows verified on the NamePros /parked/ URL, but nameservers are not yet pointing to NP (according to whois). What's the plan?

Nice domain.

Beautiful name on a beautiful parking page!

We recommend setting and keeping our name servers on it. 😊

Agreed; the more the merrier. We are on the same page here.

But even if all one million NP members joined its "Parked page" model that would be just the first baby-step to becoming a massive network.

This is why I suggested rebranding to 'Market Page' and Selling NP Market Page Templates to non-members; To engage the larger market place, while generating a new rev stream for NP , and one for domainers.

eyedomainous is it ok with you if Namepros parking gets it's feet wet first?

^ @HotKey : How is answering the "What would you add?" question, a month and over $100,000 in sales after it was asked, not letting NamePros Parking get its feet wet?

HotKey is it ok with you if I voice concern about NamePros repeating the same Parking mistake?

There only about 200 million parked pages online now. Perhaps its too early to tell if that biz model maximizes domain sales and adds value to the web.

What are the actual NS that we are supposed to use to get the landing page? Do we use the nameservers from the "add domains"?

Just click verify domains and get the namesers.

I already verified it. But then I changed the nameservers for a short time, then tried to change it back. Instead of getting the landing page, I assume I got the parking service, which forwards my name to ALL KINDS of pages. Not a good look. I'm trying to figure it out, but the nameservers are so slow to update.

@william Again, what you are seeing is Zero Click redirects from Sedo. NamePros does not redirect your lander to external parties this way.

@william I see you changed nameservers from Sedo to Afternic. If your plan is to use NamePros landers for your domain, you really have to change nameservers to NamePros instead of Afternic. You can find the nameservers for NamePros here: https://www.namepros.com/parking/domains/verify

I'm trying to set the nameservers on Sav, but they keep switching back to whatever the previous nameservers were. Is this an issue with sav on the namepros servers?

I don't know, really. What I can see is that on or around May 10, you were able to successfully change nameservers from Squadhelp to NamePros Parking, including the unique *.ns.namepros-dns.is verification nameserver. That's probably the moment that you successfully verified your domain with NamePros Parking, as well (as can be seen on the lander URL).

Later on, a change to ns1/2.sedoparking.com, and then ns3/4.afternic.com was made.

I'm looking at whois and DNS delegations. NamePros has no influence whatsoever on whois. And in fact, not how you decide to set up your name servers (delegate them to another party) either.

I have a simple question. Is all this data stored on NamePros or on our domains?
