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.

  • 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.)

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?

Hi @Bravo Mod Team. It would be great to have a way to sort my domains in my dashboard, such as, alphabetically, BIN, or add date, but alphabetically at a minimum. Thanks.

Not going to Afternic as Dan disappears into oblivion so have decided NP's is the way forward.

Moved a dozen names today to get the feel for things.
Those who have already made the move have you had any problems, things I should do or not do etc?

Please be aware I am extremely old so please keep things simple.

Thank you

I may be blind, but is there a way to have "price request" type lander instead of "make offer"?

Our unpriced lander (default) has an offer box, but it doesn't ask for an offer or require one. It's sort of a merger of these two concepts, since "Price Request" landers are very inefficient and place all of the burden/effort on you as the seller, without providing the buyer an opportunity to contribute to the conversation upfront.

However, you can place the text "Price Upon Request" in three different places on your landers:
  • Above the form in the user card area ("seller description").
  • Directly below the domain name in the short description area.
  • At the bottom of the page in the expanded description area.
Learn more at Custom Descriptions.

We also have a "Price available instantly" template for priced domains:

Thank you for asking.

Thank you.
Wot I do see is that you will be getting thousands of new names added to NP's over the next couple of weeks are you ready for what is likely to be a huge influx?

are you ready for what is likely to be a huge influx?
Yep! Our infrastructure is built to scale to GoDaddy's size. 😁

We're working hard to add features that everyone needs, so please let us know if we're missing anything vital.

Our hope is to have imports ready as soon as possible, and then everyone will be able to do bulk updates/additions that way, too.

Exciting times!
