Just saw this and the 7.5% commissions stood out!. Nice to have another option.

If an “Offer/Counter Offer Sale” listing is priced above $5000, both the “Buy now” and “more info” button on the landing page lead to the same “Offer/Counter Offer Sale” page. If the buyer hovers the cursor over the payment plan question mark icon on the “Offer/Counter Offer Sale” page, they are told that:Yes, you are correct in both of your assumptions. As long as no individual payment is over $5k then the Buyer can use any method of payment, and, in your example, yes, the Buyer would get the domain as soon as they pay the initial $1k down payment.
On the "Financial/Marketing" page (https://www.namesilo.com/account_marketplace_financial_marketing.php), can you please add a “delete domains” button in the top “actions for selected domains” area? A number of my dropped domains (that were registered by others after I dropped them) and domains I have sold on different platforms and transferred out still show up as “active”, even though they are now at other registrars with other owners. It would be good if there was an option to simply delete domains in this overview.Good news - you can now case your domains within the Marketplace and on landing pages. Here is an example:
http://www.digitaldelivery.network
The proper casing will appear on landing pages (per the above link) and on any other Marketplace pages (like the main Marketplace page, auction/offer pages and payment plan pages). We may also extend this to the shopping cart for consistency, but that will take a bit more work.
To add casing to any domains in your account, please access the Financial/Marketing page from within the Marketplace Manager section of your account:
https://www.namesilo.com/account_marketplace_financial_marketing.php
You can find more details on how that section works via the middle video on this page:

Hope you enjoy!
If an “Offer/Counter Offer Sale” listing is priced above $5000, both the “Buy now” and “more info” button on the landing page lead to the same “Offer/Counter Offer Sale” page. If the buyer hovers the cursor over the payment plan question mark icon on the “Offer/Counter Offer Sale” page, they are told that:
“The Seller has agreed to accept a payment plan for this domain. If you click the Buy Now link on this page, you will be taken to a page where you can select to either buy the domain for full price today, or setup a payment plan requiring a partial down payment today and then monthly payments for your desired term until the full purchase price has been paid.”
However, clicking the buy now button does not lead to this page, but instead to a sign-up page asking them to register an account first. There is no way to set up a payment plan or even access the payment plan info page without registering an account first if a domain is priced above $5000. This seems to create an unnecessary obstacle for potential buyers, because as you confirmed above, if a domain is priced at $7500 and the buyer opts to set up a payment plan to pay for the domain, for example a $1000 down payment followed by twelve monthly payments of $625, then the buyer can put the domain right into their cart and pay the $1000 via any payment method. Setting up a payment plan where no single payment exceeds $5000 obviates the need to register for an account prior to making a purchase.
So it seems like buyers are asked to sign-up sooner than necessary, as they have to do this even if they just want to get more info about how the payment plan works. Some buyers might be a bit interested in a domain, and the payment plan option is something that could convince them, but they may not bother to provide their info and register for an account just to be able to access this info.
Alternatively, would it be possible to have domains with a listing price above $5000 initially work the same way as those below $5000? So when a buyer first clicks on the "buy now" button link, they are taken directly to the same One-time Payment/Payment Plan page that is shown right away for domains priced below $5000, without having to sign-up first.
Then on that page if they select the “One-time Payment” option, that would be a timely moment to ask them to sign-up, because at that point they really do have to sign-up in order to confirm the purchase and initiate the wire transfer.
However, if they go for the payment plan option and no single payment will exceed $5000, there is no need for the them to sign-up ahead of setting up a payment plan, and they can simply put the domain in their cart and check-out right away via paypal/credit card (and get signed up as part of that process, when they have already decided to make the purchase). Giving potential buyers easier access to this option would probably increase your sell-through for domains priced above $5000.

Maybe you also add a yes/no column for something along the lines of; is this domain currently in your namesilo registrar account?
In short, it would be good if you could enable deleting for any domain that has been dropped, moved to another registrar, to another namesilo account, or re-registered anywhere after it has dropped (which leads it to show up as "active" a lot of the time) in the "Financial/Marketing" area, while perhaps also disabling it for all domains that are currently active in your own namesilo registrar account.
Hello. Are you referring to Marketplace landing pages and Marketplace bid/offer pages? We have looked at compiling and providing data on visitors for both, but once we started looking at the data, it was pretty obvious that the vast majority to both were bots and therefore not reflective of actual people looking at the pages. We added a few filters to take out obvious sources (like Googlebot, Bing, etc.), but there are a number of other bots rapidly crawling Marketplace domains for other purposes. So, the short answer is that once we can come up with a better way to filter bot traffic from actual human traffic then we would make that data available.
What about providing sellers to add a GA tracker id? Your platform can include the GA code and dynamically add our tracker id to that code for the relevant pages?

Maybe you can ask the tech to replace the following(or only the first sentense) in the meta part of the MarketSites with Header Text Sub or Home Page Text in the setup page?
Which will make MarketSites indexed in Google rusults better.
This domain is parked free of charge with NameSilo.com. NameSilo offers the cheapest domains on the Internet as well as.
Hello. Can you please provide an example perhaps? I'm having a bit of a hard time following. Feel free to PM us, or also email [email protected] and someone will take a quick look. Thanks
Hello. That would show for our default parking page, not for MarketSites. My guess is that the domain in question was parked with us prior to becoming a MarketSite so Google could need some time to update its cache.
No.
It was not parked at Namesilo before.
Maybe you can check others' marketsites to confirm.
Thank you!

Can you perhaps let us have the original landing page design as an option too, by making it optional whether or not to display "annual renewal price" on the landing page for standard-priced legacy extensions like .COM, .ORG, .NET?
Sure thing - there is now a "yes/no" option for displaying the annual renewal price or not on the landing pages.
I'm trying to list a name for the first time, and I'm a little confused. It seems there are only two listing options: auction vs. offer/counteroffer. I just want to have a landing page that shows a BIN and offers a payment plan.
My guess is I'm supposed to select offer/counteroffer. Now, if that is the case, am I supposed to mess with this Reserve field, or is that only for auctions? Will I be subject to getting a bunch of lowball offers even though I am trying to list this just as a BIN?

EDIT: I think I figured it out. The "Reserve" field also functions like a Minimum Offer field.
Is this option still available? I can't find it.
If you buy a domain regged at namesilo can you push to godaddy or transfer?
Thx. Nothing against namesilo but I'm spread out amongst too many registrars now.Yes, you can transfer to any registrar you like after 60 days. Of course, we'd encourage you to check out our system while the domain is with us and hopefully see why so many people transfer to us and not nearly as many going the other way

Hi guys,
is there an ETA for NameSilo to show the whois searches of domains registered with you?
Epik has that feature and I find it handy.
Also...is there any website layout update happening in the near future?
