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!

Tell us the features that you want for NamePros Parking because we’re adding new features all year!

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?

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

Landers being disabled is the only scenario in which leads are not forwarded, and that only happens for Scam/Fraud accounts, so we do not allow scammers/fraudsters any time to migrate: Learn more.

I get the impression that you are referring me to your previous answer, while I am trying to understand various situations that may arise from behavior on the main forum, which could affect the associated domain landers, even in situations where there isn't anything wrong with the content on the domain landers themselves.

Although NamePros Parking is linked to the main forum account, it is a separate service.

Let me know if you appreciate my brainstorming with your free service today.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

I am trying to understand various situations that may arise from behavior on the main forum, which could affect the associated domain landers, even in situations where there isn't anything wrong with the content on the domain landers themselves.

Our previous answer is all-encompassing: it covers all situations.

 

[Future Sensors]

Our previous answer is all-encompassing: it covers all situations.

In the NamePros Forum Rules section there are a lot more reasons that could lead to restriction and eventually a blocked main forum account. But I guess you will now point to your previous answer for the 3rd time. That will not advance the discussion in any way.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

In the NamePros Forum Rules section there are a lot more reasons that could lead to restriction and eventually a blocked main forum account.

None of them impact parking except the three that we mentioned:

• Scam/Fraud: User title shows many restrictions, including "Restricted (DM)" and the two below.
• High Risk: User title shows "Restricted (85-100%)"
• No Marketplace Access: User title shows "Restricted (Market)"

Since we mentioned that only the "Scam/Fraud" reason blocks leads from being emailed to sellers, it seems like you might be asking for a list of reasons that an account could be classified as Scam/Fraud?

At the risk of stating the obvious, behaviors that lead to a Scam/Fraud restriction are, but not limited to:

1. Phishing
2. Identity theft
3. Appraisal scams
4. Charity scams
5. Stealing domains
6. Shill bidding
7. Using stolen credit cards

We hope that helps.

Tip: GoDaddy's process is automated using DNS. This means that you need to check the nameservers using DNS lookups:

• https://dns.google/
• https://mxtoolbox.com/supertool3?action=dns:&run=toolpage#

As you noticed, DNS can take a while to update, unlike WHOIS, but with those tools above, you'll know when it actually updated and then can accept the offer to get the lower commission.*

* A better way is to run the DNS lookups from within GoDaddy's web hosting environment, but the provided solution is easier and generally sufficient.


That's a great option, too.

You can even add a description on your landers that says buying directly through you (e.g., Escrow.com) will save the buyer 20% on the price.

Buyers love a good discount!

Thank you very much for the tools, info and suggestions provided

NameDaddy will probably be the new forum name over NameDanny.

I predict they'll make an attempt at Atom in the future.

Unlikely; free multiplied by millions is still $0.

I predict they'll make an attempt at Atom in the future.

Definitely; Atom is the opposite of free.

In other news, we have some highly requested features coming very soon.

Keep telling us what you want!

 

[RapidNames.com]

Add crypto payment as a option. No need coinbase or any gateway implementations, just allow seller to add his btc, eth address and qr code for the payment.

 

[Mister Funsky]

In other news, we have some highly requested features coming very soon.

Keep telling us what you want!

A few things that have been mentioned by myself or others:

a) Move check symbol from beside name to line above

b) Eliminate hover disclaimers

c) Add one more field option for very specific domain info underneath the first two.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

a) Move check symbol from beside name to line above

The designers are trying it out. If they like it, it'll be updated soon.

b) Eliminate hover disclaimers

The short description will be updated to just "Descriptions are provided by the seller" soon.

Thanks for the reminder.

c) Add one more field option for very specific domain info underneath the first two.

Please share more details about where this would appear and its purpose.

Thanks.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

just allow seller to add his btc, eth address and qr code for the payment

Custom descriptions, along with our Email payment option, could be used for this.

Add crypto payment as a option.

What are the best providers for this?

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Somehow, when copy-pasting the verification string, two spaces were attached in front. I'd checked the tail as identical, but not the head (it wasn't flush with other strings). After adjustment, quickly verified.

An update has been released to ignore leading and trailing spaces so that won't cause issues in the future.

Thanks for letting us know.

 

[DediRock]

Thanks for letting us know

 

[Mister Funsky]

Please share more details about where this would appear and its purpose.

It would cut down on the 'cut and paste' time lost (in my case at least).

The first field provided has little room for anything but a basic statement. Therefore, the second field has to include everything...sales pitch, domain specific info, statistics, payment, or anything else.

I would like to have my general sales pitch with payment info in the second field, and if provided, I could have my domain specific pitch/info in the 3rd.

Some names require no added domain info, but for those the extra info might help, it would be nice to edit (add to) each name individually.

The issue is the data entered in the field does not translate to each induvial domain page so editing is not easy. It would require a copy/paste step for each name as entering any info on the induvial page overwrites what is/was entered for all names.

I love this idea. I would like to see the ability to Have one field the same for all domains, another field edited by groups we can import and the final field manually entered for each domain which contains everything specific for that domain. It may take ten years for large portfolio holders to complete all the individual descriptions, but this way we can quickly have the first two descriptive fields completed for all names .

Hi, I'd just like to catch up regarding the bulk domain price and minimum offer update feature. When do you expect it to be ready? I'm sure it will be very helpful for anyone with a large number of domains.

Hi, I'd just like to catch up regarding the bulk domain price and minimum offer update feature. When do you expect it to be ready? I'm sure it will be very helpful for anyone with a large number of domains.

I've been waiting for this feature also. I had to stop using the Namepros Landers until they implement the BULK feature. Problem now is, I can't even download a list of the names I already pointed to Namepros (I changed their Nameservers to be verified in NP). I think it was roughly 650 names, but not sure as there's no way to download the domain names already in my Namepros Account.

Yes, bulk and CSV operations would be tremendous!

 

[zomainhacks]

I think it would be nice having a "coming soon" lander with contact form. Do you plan of adding it as an additional choiche along with BIN and MO ?
