A very promising new system with a few bugs to work out.
Uniregistry finally unveiled Uniregistry Market today. The upgraded sales and parking system will eventually replace DomainNameSales.com.
My initial reaction is that Uniregistry Market delivers on what the company promised at NamesCon this year. It’s a clean, easy-to-use system with a nice stats dashboard for each domain. I know that Frank Schilling strives for an Apple-like experience, and this is very close.
Migrating from Domain Name Sales to Uniregistry Market was a cinch.
It’s much easier to see domains at a glance and to clean up your portfolio than with Domain Name Sales. I was able to easily go through and delete names I no longer own, since domains are sortable by owner.
There are a few bugs to be worked out, for sure. But most are minor, such as “Avg Daily Traffic” being reported in dollars, not visits, in the grid view (e.g $16.20 instead of 16.2 views). It also took a long time for the system to process the removal of domains from my account. Perhaps the servers are overloaded today.
Tooltips would be a big help. I can’t make sense of the data in the “15x PPC” column, for example. What does 6.9 for 15x PPC mean?
I’m curious about privacy settings, too. Each domain has an option to “Share Market Data”, which indicates it will share inquiries, quotes and sales prices. Turning this option off notes “Hide When Sold.” Does this mean it’s all public until the domain is sold? I reached out to Uniregistry for comment on this.
In general, I think Uniregistry Market is going to be a great tool for domain name sellers. It still has some kinks to work out, though.
Ryan says
I think sharing market data would mean your sales can be published if unimarket, or dns choose to do so. I believe uni/dns can see all your sales regardless if you hide them or not, in their master platform.
Andrew Allemann says
I know they can see the sales, I’m curious if visitors to the site will see the inquiries and quotes.
Ryan says
Sedo does the inquiries, quotes would be foolish, like showing your cards during a poker game.
M. Menius says
I think Frank and team have done a really nice job with Uni and with the new marketplace. The interface is intuitive. I also like that good quality marketplace domains are visible on the homepage alongside available tld’s. Hoping for their long term success.
Luc Biggs says
Does someone know how to remove the “Uniregistry Affiliate Ad” that appears on parked pages? (ex. on EmpireMusic.com)
Ryan says
It could be a box check in your setting, something to do with affiliate income, your are just going to have to fumble around in there.
Andrew Allemann says
Yes, I saw something about lander + affiliate. Not sure if that’s it. Trying to find out for you but the site is crawling right now.
Andrew Allemann says
Yeah, look under settings for the domain and see if it says “affiliate plus”. That’s probably it.
Vat says
I am using enquiry.io for domain related enquiries. Uniregistry has built something really awesome.
Ryan says
What is enquiry.io, do you have an example of a landing page, did you build this?
adam says
I am using astroturf.io
Mansour says
If you have 100 domains or more you must have received an email similar to the one below from Frank and his soldiers trying to convince you to transfer your domains from your registrar to Uniregistry. Harvesting whois information to determine who owns bulk domain names, as far as I know, is against ICANN policy. What concerns me the most at this time is that he is reaching out to my own customers, and that is not really decent for someone like Frank Schilling. I will assume this is an oversight on his part. He has no need to steal other companies domain names by offering them below cost transfer prices.
Dear Mansour,
My name is Sevan Derderian, director of sales at Uniregistry! I would like to make you aware of the services we offer and how moving you names to Uniregistry will help add to the bottom line of your business. Uniregistry was built for bulk transactions which makes managing larger portfolios like yours much easier. We also offer free WhoIs Privacy, Document Storage Service, and Two Factor Authentication for added security.
I am hoping you will have time to talk to me this week or next for 5 minutes about how we can help grow your business with deep discounts as well as first class customer service. We appreciate your time!
Best Regards,
Sevan Derderian

” Harvesting whois information”
DomainTools have been doing it for, at least, 13 yrs without any repercussions. And, many other services also harvest whois information.
Raymond says
The site is very impressive. Fantastic background photo images constantly displayed with new images. Just enjoy looking at beautiful photos and admire every page.
It’s the best website design I ever seen, compared with other domain registrars. Very easy to use.
It’s better than Sedo, because we can list domains buy it now over $10000. Sedo listing is only limit to $10000 max, unless you pay the valuation fees to evaluate the names.
It’s better than Godaddy too, because Uniregistry provides payment with wire transfer service on any amount ( I assume), whereas GD doesn’t provide wire transfer service outside US, unless the payment is more than $10000.
Easy to use in mobile app.
So, I am going to list and sell all names in Uniregistry, out of Sedo and GoDaddy.

This system is just a lead gen tool for the domainnamesales and unireg team.
this is what a broker at unireg told me
“We do not contact potential buyers to market the domain, however we can respond to potential buyers who make inquiries.”
why would i need anyone to respond to a domain offer? Arent I the best the person to sell my names?
they provide a system to basically accept offers with some great charting and in exchange they get all your offer leads and a commison on every sale…
Debra Pays says
I have just enquired about the cost of a domain name through uniregistry and when I was given the cost ($28k) I told them not to contact me as it was way out of my budget. This is the response I got:
“Lady, you are the one who contacted us!!!!
With your attitude I doubt that you wouldve even been able to afford this domain if it was $1,000.
Good riddance,
Review & Respond Online”
Not the most professional response I have ever received!

The name on the response was Dennis Koorn for your information.
