You can customize the sale page by selecting the “Landing Page” option from the “Actions for Selected Domains” menu.

How do I track financial transactions and domain sales?

NameSilo provides financial tracking and marketing tools that allow you to track domains within your account or with any other registrar. You can enter any type of revenue or expense transaction, view reports and charts on income/expense, domain sales, and forecasted renewal expenses. You can also add domain notes and set email reminders.

Can I add domains from other registrars to my NameSilo account for management?

Yes, you can add domains from other registrars using the DomainLink feature. This allows you to include any TLDs, configure upcoming expiration email reminders, and view a visual calendar of all upcoming expirations. Domains can be added one at a time, in bulk, or via uploading a file with up to 2,500 domains at once.

How do I customize the sale pages for my domains?

To customize the sale pages, go to the marketplace manager in your account, select “Active Sales,” and check the box for the domains you want to customize. Then, select the “Landing Page” option (it has a “FOR SALE” icon) from the “Actions for Selected Domains” menu. This will open a page where you can select and customize the sale page template for the chosen domains.

What payout options are available for domain sales?

For domain sales, NameSilo offers several payout options. You can choose to receive payment immediately or 7 days after the payment has been received, depending on the method used by the buyer. Available payout methods include account funds, wire transfer, or PayPal. Note that in some cases, it might take longer to avoid potential chargebacks and fraud.

Can I use NameSilo’s tools to manage domains registered with other registrars?

Yes, NameSilo’s tools allow you to manage and track domains registered with any other registrar. You can use the DomainLink feature to add these domains and track their expiration dates, renewal costs, and other financial data.

How do I set up a reseller account to sell domains to my customers?

To set up a reseller account, you simply need to create a new account on the NameSilo website and then visit the Reseller Manager page. You will need to accept the reseller terms and conditions. There is no special pricing for resellers, but you can benefit from the NameSilo Discount Program as you add more domains to your account.

Can I private-label my reseller services to hide NameSilo as the underlying registrar?

While you cannot entirely hide NameSilo as the underlying registrar due to ICANN rules (e.g., WHOIS output), you can private-label most interactions with the system. You can replace NameSilo’s name with yours in system email notices, landing pages, and WHOIS output. However, certain mandatory communications will still show NameSilo’s name.

What happens if my customer contacts NameSilo directly?

If your customer contacts NameSilo directly, they will be directed back to you as their reseller. NameSilo ensures that the relationship between you and your customers is maintained. However, if customers demand their domain or relief related to ICANN-guaranteed rights, NameSilo will follow their Reseller Complaints and Policies procedures.

Are there any free features available for managing and selling domains on NameSilo?

Yes, NameSilo offers several free features, including free WHOIS privacy protection, free email, and access to a free website builder. Additionally, the MarketSite features allow you to create unlimited websites to list your domains for sale without any cost.
