FAQs

What is Nameow?
Nameow is an online initiative providing readily available and custom brand names with top level domain availability

How is Nameow different from domain parking companies?
Domain parking companies look for just domain names, which in most cases are mere words with little or no relevance and meaning. Whereas Nameow’s focus is in developing brand names that are unique, meaningful, easy to remember and most importantly, that has domain availability

Which are the domain extensions you offer?
Usually it would be .com and .net. In cases where the domain is highly valuable, we may also book several other top level and regional extensions.

Are the names copyright/trademark free?
Nameow doesn’t give an assurance for the copyright/trademark for the names. The customers who wish to buy the names should take care of this. However, Nameow does an extensive online study while registering the domain names. To avoid any legal issues, Nameow strongly recommends you to consult your trademark attorney before finalizing on any name. You may also do a quick search on the US Patent & Trademark website before making a decision.

One of the names in your list is copyrighted to us. How can we notify you on this?
Write to us by including all details of your registration. If we are convinced of your case, we will pull down the name from our list. If you want to purchase the domain, please mention that too in your mail.

I am not happy with the names in your list. Do you have more?
Yes, we do. We have saved them for the rainy days :). If you wish to see more names, please write to us in detail on the type of name you would require. If you want us to develop a name for your brand, please visit our custom brand naming page.

I need a name, but not the domain extensions. Possible?
Sorry, no. Even if you don’t need the domain extensions, the rate remains the same. So doesn’t it make sense to keep the domain extensions as well?

However, please note that we also work on sub-brand name development. In these cases the domain name may contain the main brand name. Example: Ford Fusion, Windows Vista (both names not developed by us)

How can I trust you? Do you guys have a proper office?
Of course we do! Nameow is backed by Niyati Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a 10 year old company from Chennai, India focusing on branding, website development, print design, multimedia, software development and online marketing. Check out our corporate websites at www.niyati.com or www.niyati.biz

Do you provide Escrow services for online purchase?
Escrow service will be activated shortly for secure online purchase.

I need a logo for my name. What’s the process?
While buying the name, add logo design services with your package. An advance amount will be charged and balance can be paid upon completing the logo design process. Learn more at our branding services page.

What if I don’t like the logo designs? Should I still pay?
No, only the advance amount would be charged.

I also need a website to be developed. Can I get a quote?
Yes! Please visit our website development page and fill the questionnaire. We will get back with a proposal for designing your website.

I have several name ideas. Can I sell it through your site?
Yes, you can. However please note that we are not a domain parking site and hence there are a few terms you need to agree to:

• The name should be unique, creative and brandable. We are looking for brand names and not just a domain name
• Your name should not be listed in other naming or domain parking sites
• The name should have at least .com and .net extensions and should be copyright/trademark free
• Nameow should be informed in advance if the name is sold
• Nameow will decide on the price and if the name is acceptable on the site
• Nameow will retain 20% of the sale value
• Payments will be made to Nameow and the name owner will be paid 80% of the amount within 1 week of the sale
• We also request you to book the domain names prior to contacting us. Nameow will not be responsible for any loss of domain names during the period of discussion with us.

I have a query which is not answered above. Whom should I contact?
Write to us and be ensured of a quick reply.
