Atom has Several Job Openings

Atom.com seems to be growing at quite a clip. In fact, according to this year’s Inc. 5000 list, Atom has grown 122% over the last three years. As a result of the company’s growth, Atom is hiring for several open roles, which it announced on X:

It doesn’t look like these jobs require domain industry expertise or experience, but I am sure it would be helpful.

At the moment, there are four open positions on the Atom.com careers page. The company is located in Illinois, and it appears there is some flexibility in terms of location, although only one job opening is listed as remote.

Have a look at these job openings if you’re looking for a domain industry career beyond investing in domain names.

Register.com Migrates to Network Solutions

Network Solutions and Register.com are legacy domain registrars that have been sister companies for many years. Both companies are now owned by Newfold Digital, and they have offered essentially the same services on similar platforms for quite some time. I’ve used both domain registrars after winning domain name auctions on NameJet, another Newfold company.

The companies recently announced that Register.com has been merged into Network Solutions. Register.com customers can now access their domain names via the Network Solutions website. The Register.com domain name does not redirect to the Network Solutions website, but the login link does.

For quite some time, my Register.com-registered domain names I won on NameJet have been provisioned directly to my Network Solutions account, so this is not entirely surprising. I would also not be surprised to see Snapnames merged into NameJet since that is also a redundant platform for Newfold.

I highly doubt Newfold is going to divest the Register.com domain name or brand, but the company has made the decision to merge these two legacy brands into one.

Do You Want a Domain Portfolio Tracking Tool?

Over the weekend, Atom’s Darpan Munjal mentioned that Atom is considering building a domain portfolio tracking tool. He asked if anyone is using a tool to track their portfolio, and if so, what makes a tool like this useful:

Team Internet and CCI Partnership to Operate .CO ccTLD

According to a post on Team Internet’s corporate LinkedIn page, the company has been awarded the contract to operate the .CO ccTLD registry in partnership with another company called Central Comercializadora de Internet (CCI). These two companies formed a company called Consórcio Equipo PuntoCo, which will operate the .CO domain extension on behalf of the government of Colombia and its Ministry of Technology.

This news was also announced in a press release on the Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications (MinTIC) website.

Atom Hiring Manager of Registrar Operations

Last month, Atom.com announced that has become an ICANN accredited domain registrar. In the blog post announcement, the company briefly shared its big vision for its registrar, which entails offering tools for buyers and sellers to maximize the potential of their domain names.

One thing Atom is going to need is an experienced person who is an expert at domain registrar operations leading this division. Atom is looking to hire that person, and it posted a job listing for a Manager of Registrar Operations.

Spaceship Hits 3 Million DUM

Spaceship, the rapidly growing domain registrar and sister company of Namecheap, just surpassed 3 million domain names under management milestone. Less than a year ago, Spaceship hit the 1 million DUM milestone. I think this underscores the company’s momentum and growing influence in the domain space, particularly as it relates to domain investors.
