How to Set CamelCase at Afternic for Large Portfolios

In April, I wrote about why I preferred the Dan.com landing page over Afternic’s landing page. One of the big reasons was the ability to use camel case at Dan, which could not be done at Afternic. I think the presentation of the domain name is much better with camel casing, particularly if a domain name has consecutive letters where one should be capitalized (BusinessSolutions vs. businesssolutions).

Recently, Afternic launched a new BIN landing page design inspired by Dan’s landing page design. The differences are that the new landing page utilizes a GoDaddy.com url and it is completely GoDaddy-branded. I think there is a greater level of trust for customers who know the GoDaddy brand but are not familiar with Dan.com.

With the launch, Afternic made it possible to set up camel casing for domain names using the landing page and other landing pages. One obstacle to setting this up is the conversion from lowercase to camelcase. This is a tedious job, and there isn’t a good way to do this in bulk within the Afternic platform. For someone with hundreds of domain names, it would likely take hours. For someone with thousands of domain names, the process is far too long to do it manually.

In response to a post from Swetha, Afternic shared that customers with large accounts can connect with their Account Manager to automate this process:

When I needed it done for more than 1,500 domain names I have for sale, I sent a list of my names with camelcasing and asked my Account Manager to change them for me. It was done fairly quickly because I provided an inventory list with proper casing. I am not sure if they have a way to automatically do it if a list with camel casing isn’t provided. You should reach out to an Account Manager to inquire.

  1. Hi Elliot ,
    I want to ask about Account manager , could you elaborate on this. Is this Service free or does Afternic Charge for this service for larger Portfolios ? , and how Large Portfolios get a Account Manager ?

    • You would need to ask them. I don’t know if they assign one based on number of listings, sales revenue, or something else.

      • As you Have One , Is he the One Negotiating your Sales and Finalizing it above the Floor price or the Minimum Price if You Keep a ” Request Price” Afternic lander

  2. So what about Domain Broker ? how did you get one ? If you Could Pls Elaborate . Should i just go and fill the Afternic Contact us Help form to get one? and how do Domains get sold below the BIN Prices (Above the Min price and below the Floor Prices ) . Asking Because there isnt any method a Buyer could buy knowing them except the ” Request Price ” Lander i Presume ?

    • I can’t advise you. I do not know how they assign Account Managers or brokers. You could email their support staff who can answer your questions, but I do not have the answers for you.
