What Game-Changing Features Would Make You Switch to NamePros Landers?

NamePros has recently introduced free domain landers for all its forum members, providing domain investors with a new option for showcasing and selling their domains. Despite this exciting development, many members have yet to transition from other popular platforms to NamePros Parking.

This thread aims to understand what is currently holding you back from switching to NamePros landers.

What features or improvements would be the game-changer for you personally? Are there any specific functionalities that are essential for you to consider making the switch?

Your feedback will help identify the key factors that could make the free NamePros landers the preferred choice for domain investors.

The ONLY thing holding a lot of people back (me included) are reg path sales from Afternic / commission punishment for not having landers there. For most people that is going to represent anywhere from 30-80% of sales and like it or not the commission punishment is an effective noose.

I got in my head an idea, this may be the topic to post it.
If they could make in such a way so that when you point domains to NP's NS, no body will know who is owner of those domains, but then there should be created an automatic default page based on pointed domains and somehow to contact the unknown owner. Not sure if this is possible.
edit: maybe if the owner will include somehow his contact email directly in NS and the page will take that and display it. Or the default lander will contain a WHOIS search, with message WHOIS me.

I think a serious business should be transparent on who is running it, who is involved, invested in it.

Good thing we're a fun service, not a serious business.

We are adding new features every month.

We encourage everyone to let us know which features you need before you make the switch.

Join the party!

Steady growth and adoption.

Could you share with us your goals behind this idea?

Once we understand what you'd like to accomplish and why, we can probably come up with a solution.

Thanks.

I ask because I used to be with Voodoo back in the day with many others, the owner had health issues and then payments weren’t being made. Turns out it was a 1 man operation, no backup plan. Knew who ran the operation so I could check their socials to see what was going on.

You see the response here with Epik with people wanting to know who the new owner was, since it was hidden for awhile.

Then, I think you’re aware some people speculating that GoDaddy bought NP awhile back. I don’t think that but I’m not 100% on that and it’s not a crazy thing to think since they buy up everything else that becomes successful, Afternic, Dan etc

Transparency is not an unreasonable thing to want.

owner had health issues

We miss Donny around here.

Did anyone ever hear anything else?

speculating that GoDaddy bought NP awhile back

They probably wouldn't be pouring money into a free lander service if they did.

Agreed; it's not unreasonable at all.

Thanks for sharing.

 

[Future Sensors]

Agreed; it's not unreasonable at all.

It probably is a tough one to solve, too.

It's certainly a lot easier for other companies who don't get constant death threats because some random user on their platform decided to upset another user. There's a lunatic as recently as last week upset that we deleted their threatening posts, and now they're trying to find and harm moderators.

It is what it is.

I think I read about that on X, and it felt really uncomfortable indeed.

Still, for NPP, the lack of company info has now been mentioned as a possible reason for not making the switch. This thread was in fact meant to unveil such thoughts, how uncomfortable they may be.

Well, that is a common marketing tactic, get people hooked into the ecosystem. GoDaddy wasn’t throwing around those $ 0.99 cent coupons to be charitable. And I’m fine with paying for a good product/service. Nobody offers free things to lose money. Somewhere there’s a payoff, which I’m fine with. Basic marketing/business

Not completely sure, but my interpretation of @DomainNature's posting is that for each domain they refer to NPP they'd like to have just one (1) uniform landing page (without the domain mentioned?). That page should then not mention the domain itself but should allow the domain registrant to be contacted anonymously. This would bypass the current method of NPP email forwarding and instead directly link to some Whois contact pages used by the registrars to reach the registrant.

@DomainNature Hopefully that's a good description of what you mean?

Exactly, so do you think hugedomains is ready to loose a lot ?

I take u is the zebra..

I just switched to Atom WLM. Being able to use my own domain for my landers and home page/marketplace seems to me to be a must if I want to give the impression of professionalism especially if I intend to conduct outbound email campaigns from a custom email.

I tried the NP landers for a week and had too many spam offers and even a spam BIN (although this maybe isn't the fault of the landers I've never had these issues elsewhere).

The ability to embed escrow.com BIN buttons on the lander would be good.

 

[DN_Hunter]

I'm hoping the BULK feature is released soon. I would like to assign BIN / MIN in BULK -- and also up/download my portfolio as needed.

For HTML enabled fields -- is there a "wildcard" that allows me to put within the HTML that identified the domain name.

It would be nice if URL when going to my domain names pointed at NP to be the actual domain name itself -- instead of Namepros.com/parked.....

Our landers added this ability a few months ago, in April.

On our to-do list.

You probably have domain(s) that receive a lot of traffic from users trying to find a different website.

We have a solution in the works to prevent confused inquirers. Until then, our default minimum offer feature can help with this.

Thanks for sharing.

get people hooked into the ecosystem

NamePros Landers were built in response to Uniregistry's DomainNameSales being shutdown by GoDaddy. Uni users (domain sellers) lost ALL of their messages with buyers and brokers when that happened. There was no option to export it.

Our landers are built to ensure that never happens again:

We send all necessary details to your email for you to have conversations there or through your CRM, so everything can be stored and managed outside of NamePros.

If NamePros were to ever shut down, for some unforeseen reason, then you would already have everything necessary in your email to continue operating without disruption. You can also occasionally export additional data that we buy for you and provide to you for free, such as the average income of the buyer's neighborhood.

NamePros Landers are built to make it easy for you to switch to another service.
