Great to partner with @Porkbun to bring @atomHQ inventory to more buyers! Our goal is to scale distribution across many registrars and startup focused platforms by year-end

Thank you @ICADomains for this incredible honor and to everyone who has been part of our journey. Your support means everything 🙏

@domainretail I had shared some data on that a while back, but will take a look at the latest numbers and share an update soon

@synozeer It’s directionally similar up to around $150K, though the STR gap narrows as prices increase. Will take a deeper look at the data for higher price points and share in the future

@matthewegould True. Some buyers still negotiate on BIN-only listings, but the difference is clarity—they know the ceiling, which makes it easier to take action With "Make Offer," they’re navigating in the dark, unsure if they’re too high or too low, which can lead to hesitation or inaction

RT @atomHQ: 🔥 Mission-based brands need names that resonate. Be too obvious, and you fade into the noise. Be too abstract, and you lose mea…

@DomainCX Yes. A major UX update to the navigation is also coming soon—making it much easier to discover these 3 marketplaces across the entire site

Great question! Here’s my long-winded response. There are two types of marketing: pull-based (targeting buyers actively searching, like Google Ads) and push-based (where you put something in front of them, like Instagram, X, or LinkedIn ads). Pull-based is easier because the buyer is already in the market. Push marketing, on the other hand, is about planting the seed rather than expecting an instant sale. And here’s the key: they may not buy the exact domain they saw, but a great ad sparks curiosity. Once they start exploring, many end up finding something that aligns with their vision. The important thing is to cast a wide enough net. There are hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs out there, and at any given time, a small percentage are always looking for a great name. This also includes collectors—founders who grab great domains when they see them, even if they don’t have an immediate use. Push marketing doesn’t always drive instant conversions, but it keeps you top of mind. In our experience, many of these sales trickle in weeks or even months after the initial ad impression

RT @atomHQ: At Atom, we don’t stand still. Since our rebrand, we’ve been building at full speed. 2025 is all about bigger plans, bolder i…

We're building AI agents to automate repetitive tasks like checking domain usage (and pricing) across other extensions, tracking recent funding announcements, and more. What other time-consuming tasks would you like AI agents to tackle?

Honored to share that has won the Trailblazer Award by the Internet Commerce Association! This recognition celebrates innovation and the hard work of our incredible team in pushing the boundaries. Thank you to everyone who’s supported us on this journey!

Always great chatting with Andrew @domainnamewire and sharing updates about @atomHQ. Thanks for having me!

OpenAI just launched Operator. This got me thinking about the potential impact of AI agents on how buyers will discover domain names in the future, so I decided to give Operator a test run. The results were eye-opening. I started with a simple prompt: Help me find a great domain for my pet food brand from It should be a cute name and ideally under $5000." Operator took it from there. It accessed searched for pet food-related domains, applied the appropriate pricing filter, and shortlisted names that exuded cuteness. It didn’t stop there—it even assisted me in negotiating a better price through live chat. The implications of this technology are huge. For marketplaces, it will become critical to optimize the way domains are merchandised to ensure AI agents can easily discover relevant options. This means having in-depth filters, a highly effective search, and real time communication tools will matter more than ever. It is time to start adapting for this shift

@Name__Groove Yes the plan is to expand this to areas where entrepreneurs hang out

@adamstrong We’re planning to test geofencing tools and QR codes in our ads to measure impact, but nothing beats the precision of click-based tracking. Digital is still our bread and butter, but we’re looking to complement it with additional channels.

@innothought Sorry to hear about this—this is highly unusual and not the experience we want anyone to have. Could you DM me your info so I can dig deeper?

We keep A/B testing different options and ultimately let buyer click-through data decide the placement of features. The .io domain filter is still available on the left and more prominently featured on Sapphire Marketplace. We'll continue to test and may bring it back to the top of the main marketplace in the future
