Namesilo. Recommended or not?

[Marc Riccio]

Cheaper than most, looks pretty straightforward... Easy to buy? Easy to sell?

Buying 10 names in the next few days. Am looking for somewhere to buy/sell these within the next few months.

Was planning to go with Godaddy, but not enamored with 2 year payment. Namesilo is $8.99

Only want to use 1 registrar.

Please advise, thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. They will all be .coms, and I'm already in your discount programme. I'm trying to keep my portfolio at fewer than 300 names, so I probably won't be eligible for any further discount. I did join your affiliate programme as well. I couldn't see a way to add an affiliate link to names offered for sale in your market place - is there a way to do this?

Is there any prospect of .gold name renewals coming down in price. I'm thinking of getting rid of my english.gold name if renewals are staying above $70.

You should be able to link to any page on our site passing your Affiliate ID in the URL. For example, if your affiliate ID was "kuffy", you could link to our home page via:

https://www.namesilo.com/?rid=kuffy

Regarding .gold, sorry, but we have not heard anything from Donuts (the registry for the .gold TLD) regarding lowering of renewal prices.

BTW - we just launched a good new promotion for .com registrations

Funny as it may sound, as a newbie, I knew namesilo before GD. So I'm more used to their easy to use interface.

Namesilo will send you transactional emails only, which would almost be worth paying GD prices.

Namesilo also allows you to explicitly set an email to catch your WHOIS contact messages, which is nice. yourgmail+namesilobulk @ gmail.com would be an example for gmail where you could filter those messages into their own folder.

All of you are mentioning registering domains, but what about the sell side? Is Namesilo's Afternic integration enough to make up for leaving Godaddy and the name recognition of their brand?

Good prices, good service, not "pushy" and have not encountered upselling like some of the other big sites.
