I received a suspicious looking email yesterday, and I want to share some details. The email subject was “Atom x Embrace.com,” and it came from an email address using a .CO domain name that does not appear to be associated with the Atom.com platform.
Within the email, it had the following messaging:
“I’m Will from Atom. We run a marketplace and naming platform with 400,000+ brandable domains, plus appraisal, brokerage, and naming services.”
There are a number of domain investor groups that get together throughout the year. I know of groups in south Florida and Los Angeles who hold casual meetups to talk about domain names from time to time. When I lived in New York, I hosted a few small meetups, and it helped me meet quite a few people I stay in touch with to this day.
Bill Sweetman from Name Ninja will be holding a domain investor event at the end of the month. The Ottawa Domainer Meetup, as it will be officially known, will be held on Saturday, August 29, 2026 from 4-8 PM in downtown Ottawa, Canada.
Porkbun is a domain registrar that is a preferred option for many. It ranked #5 in the Namepros poll of top domain registrars last year. The company has been operating for a little more than ten years.
Although I have not used Porkbun, I understand the registrar has a modern interface and back-end design, reasonably good pricing, and responsive customer service. It’s no surprise the platform has continued on a strong growth curve.
One of my favorite weekends of the year has arrived. On Sunday, I will be riding in my 13th Pan-Mass Challenge to raise money for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. With help from friends and colleagues in the domain investment business, we have raised more than $10,000 for Dana-Farber this year. My fundraising goal is $15,000.
We all know someone who has had cancer or has cancer. It’s a terrible disease that impacts people around the world. I’ve had friends and family overcome their cancer diagnosis, and sadly, I have lost family and friends to cancer. Dana-Farber helps people with cancer around the world, and its research helps give people with cancer better outcomes.
In February, I discovered the contact form on my corporate website wasn’t working. I’m not exactly sure what happened, but my WordPress developer made a fix that solved the deliverability issue. However, the contact form receives a fair amount of spam emails now that it is working. This issue needs to be addressed at some point soon, but it is more of an annoyance than a problem.
My email provider has been doing a good job of marking these spam messages correctly. I check the spam folder on a regular basis to try to ensure I am not missing anything, but if a contact form email is marked as spam and isn’t quickly identifiable as something other than spam, I’ll just trash it and all other spam emails.
