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.

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).
  • 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)

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?

@alcy I understand that you will now focus more on domain sales than parking income. That is definitely a different direction, and perhaps a nice side effect.

Some stunning domains continue to be added to the NamePros Parking program.
I'm new to NP Parking -- does NP have a marketplace where we can see/search the domains being added to the NamePros Parking program?

Can confirm.

That's probably because NamePros wants you to install an app when trying this. And even if you choose another option than installing the app, it doesn't install a direct link to the NPP Dashboard page.

Here's a workaround solution that works for me.
You will now have a direct link to the NPP section on one of your Android home screens, but unfortunately without a logo. Just the way you're used to working with other sites that don't want to install an app.

Let me know if this works.

tnx. I still think less 3rd party relying the better. hope they setup a visit count to start.. expansion later to inquiry count etc.. but simple visit count easy coding... just add column to option to see all names. @Mod
ty

I agree. So many bots on Google Analytics to weed through. Would be nice if there was a way to exclude that somehow and report natural visits on NP only. Just a count, as you said, then go from there.

I have received two different types of verbiage:
Inquiry only: You've received an inquiry. You may reply to this message to contact the inquirer.
Offer Made: Good news! A buyer is ready to pay your price of USD <price> for <domain> and is considering your selection of payment methods.
