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.)

Wait, there’s more!

I kinda urgently need to know where I should be adding my domains, to the NameServer or to the Template (which look like a carbon copy ofther NameServer). I think it should be the Template from the earlier discussions about the Template. Then why else would you suggest it was a good idea. from my view of our conversation about it.

If I have both NS and a Template, I should always be editing the Template. Is that correct thinking?

It was recommended that we build a template which is a mirror image of the nameserver when I got involved with this project. So I did just that, because it was recommended. So now I need to know whether I should use that or not for updating new domains and whatever else it might be used for,

Yes, if you're trying to set more domains to use the same name servers (NS), then you should set those additional/new domains to the existing NS template that you created.

Also, if you want to change the nameservers on all of the domains using a particular template, then you can simply edit the template and that will update all domains using that template.

The NS template system at Dynadot is just a convenience feature to save you time when managing/updating nameservers on multiple domains. With templates, you just set a template on the domains, and the template will set the nameservers on those domains accordingly. Then, whenever you want to update the nameservers of all domains using that template, you just update the template one time and it does the rest.

Using templates is optional; their only purpose is to save you some time.

I kinda urgently need to know where I should be adding my domains, to the NameServer or to the Template (which look like a carbon copy ofther NameServer). I think it should be the Template from the earlier discussions about the Template.

Please feel free to send us a DM with urgent questions for a faster response.

Could you please recommend where I go to get such a system for CAMELCASE. Or is it just a spreadheet of domain names?

We are drifting slightly away from the main topic, but indeed, you can easily keep track of your (CamelCased) domains in a spreadsheet. This is possible with various spreadsheet solutions on the market.

Another, and I think much better way for you, is to hand this over to your programmer, whom you talked about earlier. They may be able to build a tailor-made solution for your domains, so that you can focus on your core business again, what you enjoy the most.

Now I am at 350+ names pointed to NP's...fingers crossed for Afternic checkout link integration.

OK. I need an answer to the question? Do we add all our domains to the NamePros NS1 Nameservers or the NamePros Template? I had been lead to believe, or misunderstood, that there were benefits by adding them to the Template, not to the NS. But now its sounds we should not be putting them Template, but in the NamePros NS1 Namservers. I'm going to be adding all my domains in the next 24 hours. So I would really like to know where they should be uploaded too.

Either option is perfectly fine.

We responded to your question in our previous post:

• https://www.namepros.com/threads/namepros-parking-adds-buy-now-and-much-more.1324080/post-9183450

Please let us know if you have additional questions.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

I cannot change every domain and every future domain into CamelCase automatically? That's way too much work for 1500 domains plus all new domains added. I was kind of expecting to find this as an option for everything.

We can add some features to NamePros Parking to make this easier.

However, CamelCasing can have multiple choices, so automation won't be able to decide which you like best.

Examples:

• GoDown or GodOwn
• Nowhere or NowHere or NoWhere
• ButterFly or Butterfly
• HighLight or Highlight
• SunSpot or SunsPot

In those cases, you'll have to update the casing on the domain manually to your desired casing.

We'll let you know once it's ready.

 

[Future Sensors]

Examples:

NamePros or namePros?

CAMELCASE

I just realized that you wrote the entire word CAMELCASE in capital letters in your most recent postings.

Do you mean that you want to see the entire domain name presented in capital letters on your lander?

That's not really CamelCase then, it's called All Caps.

Put another way: what would you like to see on your lander?

a) DOMAINNAME.COM
b) DomainName.com

 

[Name Trader]

No. I want CamelCase like DomainNames.Com. I think the next best thing to CamelCase would be all capitals like, DOMAINNAMES.COM.

What happens with very long names. I think I have 1 domain about 24 characters long. So I set my longest name could be 30 chars long in my program. How long a list of characterd before the name scrolls to the next line on the NamePros landing page?

Since I have you in a chat, I don't need to look it up how to do that

So if I input my domains into the Template, then they will also appear in the NameServer as well. Yes? I think you have said that? If that is correct, I think that is what I will choose to do. I don't have a firm grasp really of how this Template is useful. But from your description I can learn how to how to use it more later on.

[Name Trader]

I'm intending to set up, from the beginning, that users will use my search routines and instead of sending them my current results, I will send them the NamePros Lander(s) instead. For multiple results I will send them a smaller version of every domain found for them to click instead.

@Bravo Mod Team, I think today/tonight is when the meeting with gddy happens re checkout link...good luck on those efforts and hopefully we will have good news soon!

While on the subject (sort of) I'm on board with providing an instant checkout link on landing page regardless of method. Sometimes buyers want to remain anonymous and/or they are impulse buyers and it is important to serve those types.

A look back over the last few years shows that a reasonable percentage of sales happened via this method (with 0 direct contact with buyer).

I'm not sure if your plan is to implement an automated solution for this, but such a solution should be aware of most other languages as well.

Take the example below were automatic casing has completely gone wrong.

(Dutch: Troffelvloer; English: Trowel Floor)

 

[Future Sensors]

What happens with very long names.

The font size will decrease, until it's almost unreadable.

It will not wrap to a new line.

 

[Mister Funsky]

automatic casing has completely gone wrong

I think you mentioned this somewhere above about the advantages of using spreadsheet.

I've got a spreadsheet just for the camel case purpose. There are many I use, some with 8+ columns, but because of the recurring need, I keep all names (new and old) in alphabetical order with the proper camel case for when the need arises.

Sure, it can take a little time with 1K, 2K, 5K or more names, but it is well worth it in the long run. The automated ones inevitably make errors.

 

[Future Sensors]

Hi @Mister Funsky

Yes indeed, that's the best way to do it: have your own administration, maintained in CamelCase.

I think many other people don't work that way and rely on the domain overview at their registrar, where everything is likely shown in lowercase.

Since this was initially written do we have a concise post on things that have been added? Thank you

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

So if I input my domains into the Template, then they will also appear in the NameServer as well. Yes? I think you have said that?

If you're talking about Dynadot's list feature for nameservers, where you can see a list of all of your domains using a particular nameserver, then yes, the domains will still show up in that list if you use a template to set their nameservers.

Dynadot has excellent customer support; they'll be able to best help you understand the NS template feature better than we can, since it's their service.

We recommend reaching out to them with additional questions about Dynadot's NS templates.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

I'm on board with providing an instant checkout link on landing page regardless of method. Sometimes buyers want to remain anonymous and/or they are impulse buyers and it is important to serve those types.

Could you give us more details about what you mean?

Are you looking for a solution that automatically confirms when you received the buyer's payment and then it transfers the domain out of your account to the buyer?

Let us know what you had in mind.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Since this was initially written do we have a concise post on things that have been added? Thank you

We'll work on compiling a list for you soon.

We've made a lot of updates, but we haven't had time to compile a list of them yet.

Thanks for asking.
