Does Selling across 22 Marketplaces increase my chances?
Augmenting the efforts of third-party marketplaces (where your domains are listed) is an approach many domain investors have found highly effective.
For example, there is solid logic in advertising your business with link pointing to your marketplace website as initial point of sale (POS). Buyer decides if he/she wants to buy directly from you or choose any of the
popular third-party marketplaces.
Apart from saving big on promoting your domains (since you are promoting your entire portfolio with a single Ad), there may be other reasons why you might want to re-direct buyers to a third-party platform to complete
the purchase : level of trust enjoyed by established marketplace(s), low sales commission, payment security, lack of technical know-how in transferring domains to buyers,
you don't want to go through the rigors of domain escrow services, international payment processors don't operate in your country, etc.
What should I do Before Sign-up?
Before you sign up
We recommend you work with the free trial (demo) version
Decide on the most suitable subscription plan for you.
Decide on the custom domain you want to use for your marketplace (e.g mydomainstore.com)
Decide on the prefix (the part before the @ symbol, i.e local-part) of the business email address along with the cutom domain (e.g purchase@mydomainstore.com)
What should I do After Sign-up?
After sign-up (and first payment)
Login to your account.
Add your domains to the database. You can bulk upload as list or from CVS file.
Under Settings >> Domain Mapping menu item, enter the custom domain name you want to use for your marketplace.
Go to your registrar website. Change the Nameservers (DNS) of the custom domain to:
NS1.DNHAT.COM
