Connect Name.com

This guide walks you through connecting your Name.com account to Domain Pilot so you can manage all your Name.com domains from a single dashboard.

You'll need two values from Name.com, your API token and your username, and you'll whitelist Domain Pilot's IP address.

Step 1: Create an API Token

1. Log in to your Name.com account

2. Click your profile picture and select API Dashboard

   

3. Click Manage API Tokens

   

4. Under Get started with the API, enter a token name, such as "Domain Pilot"

5. Agree to the terms and click Create Token

   

Step 2: Whitelist Domain Pilot's IP Address

Name.com only accepts API requests from approved IP addresses.

1. In Domain Pilot, click Registrars in the sidebar, then click Add Registrar
2. Select Name.com and copy the IP address shown: 3.77.180.226
3. Back in Name.com, scroll down to Limit API access by IP address
4. Paste the IP address and click Add IP Address

Step 3: Connect in Domain Pilot

1. Back in Domain Pilot, click I've Done This to continue

2. In Name.com, copy your API token and paste it into API Token

3. In Name.com, copy your username and paste it into Username

4. Click Test Connection

   

Verifying the Connection

Domain Pilot imports your domains as soon as the connection test succeeds and shows how many it found. Click View My Domains to see them on the Domains page.

Troubleshooting

"Invalid Credentials" Error

• Ensure you're using the correct username and API token
• Check that the token has not been deleted in Name.com
• Try creating a new API token if the issue persists

"Forbidden" or Connection Error

• Verify that 3.77.180.226 is listed under Limit API access by IP address in Name.com's API Dashboard
• Ensure you are using the production token, not a development or test token
