Atom.com is now an ICANN-accredited registrar (4.Viewing)

View attachment 276185

We just received our ICANN accreditation
It’s a big milestone. But more than anything, it’s a fresh start.

The registrar space hasn’t evolved much in years.
Same interface. Same flows. Same friction.
It’s worked, but only in the most functional sense.

Most registrars weren’t built for domain investors.
They weren’t built for creative brand discovery.
And they definitely weren’t built for the AI-powered internet we live in today.

For Domain Investors​

You’ll have tools to improve discovery and boost sell-through rates.
You’ll be able to manage smarter, promote better, and move faster, with AI agents helping you spot and dropcatch valuable expiring domains with more precision.
And when a domain expires and gets auctioned, we’ll share a portion of the revenue because value should be shared, not lost.

Very dangerous registering and keeping your domains at the same place where you are selling them. I've often said Afternic fast transfer is dangerous and it has shown itself to be so on numerous occasions. Atom is no different, I have two separate topics stating the dangers of Afternic fast transfer and the fact that Atom will turn into a behemoth similar to GoDaddy and we will eventually see the same upsells and shenanigans that we see at GoDaddy.

The danger of GoDaddy/Afternic Fast Transfer

Prediction: Atom will become as bloated as GoDaddy

Yes but at least they'll offer some competition to keep out of control commissions in place.

Got that from Dynadot, it seems the word Premium will eventually mean higher cost at most market places just like at GoDaddy

The answer for most domainers is their own landers, even 5% commission is monstrous on larger sales. That should technically be the most anyone ever takes to sell YOUR property. Over 10% is idiotic in my opinion.

I totally agree, especially as 95% of sales result from inherent domain traffic like type-ins, backlinks or search engine hits.
