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!

• Inquiry notifications: Choose whether to be notified only about inquiries that have confirmed their email address, or all inquiries including unconfirmed inquiries and offers below your chosen minimum, sent by email. Regardless of these settings, all inquiries are accessible on the website.
• Reach Unreachable Buyers: Contact buyers with one-click using proven deliverability and reachability to request that they email you and add your email address to their email's address book and allowlist, by using our "Ask for a reply" button.

• Descriptions with links: Add links to any text in descriptions, including short descriptions, expanded descriptions, and the seller description.
• Descriptions with custom FAQs: Add questions and answers (Q&As) to your expanded descriptions. These fancy theme-based FAQs expand and collapse to keep the page simple and polished.

• ️ Update: We created a dedicated page for new features and updates. Moving forward, visit this page to see what's new.

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?

Tip: Quickly access your parking dashboard using the "Sell" dropdown menu at the top.

making me go 5 registrars change all my default dns for future

Our update is backward compatible, so as long as the registrars and registries of your domains allow you to use the old nameservers, our service will continue to verify based on them.

Light-years saved.

.im and .de domains

the .im registry doesn't recognize your parking name servers

I cannot get any .im added as the registry does not accept the long 2nd server name.

Hey @louddrums, @dirk, and @D Haynes, just tagging you so you know:

Our nameservers are now fully supported by the .de and .im registries (and all other registries to our knowledge):

• https://www.namepros.com/threads/na...ntegration-and-much-more.1324080/post-9547373

We hope this helps.

 

[Future Sensors]

Our nameservers are now fully supported by the .de and .im registries (and all other registries to our knowledge):

Still, I assume the order matters. Add the domains to your NPP portfolio first, then update the nameservers at the registrar. Otherwise, the pre-delegation check may still fail.

Good call. For .de domains, yes. For most other domains, no.

We did add a notice about that recently to our Add domains and Verify domains pages:

DNS changes made at your registrar, including setting nameservers for the first time, can take up to 72 hours to take effect. That's just how the internet works. Nothing to do with us.

ok
all good

Don't assume it will always happen that fast (i.e., within 30 minutes).

DNS is a very slow technology when making changes to it.

Atom, too, in my experience. 3 offers, 3 replies back from me, 3 black holes with no further communication. I am switching the domains I can (non-premium) back to NP landers. I'd rather have full control, too. And maybe premium, too, we'll see....

For anyone who may not understand the significance of this tweet:

With our landers, you can earn more money and still have more domains left to sell.

Elsewhere, you have to sell more domains to make less money.

If you can manage to sell less domains and still make more money than if you had sold more domains, then that's the best path for your business.

In other words:

Today's updates!

Detected domains: now excludes domains that you've removed from your account, and you can now manually remove domains from your "Detected" tab, one at a time or in bulk.

Removed domains: all domains that you manually remove from your account will now show in the "Removed" tab, including domains that you remove from the "Detected" that may have never been added to your account.

Download imports: you can now download your CSV/TXT files that you used to import domains. Just open the import and press the "Download original file" button.

New admin tools for us to provide even better customer support! For example, now we can:

• Easily review your settings for incomplete/accidental configurations
• Change your custom verification key for you
• Retry verification on all unverified domains in your account
• View the HTML that you set on domains
• Etc.

Thanks to @Future Sensors, @VadimK, @alcy, and others for these suggestions!
