Atom.com users have many different settings. Some are universal across a portfolio, and others are individually set for each domain name. One particular setting I never understood was “Clear Cache.” This option sits under the “Other Options” heading in a user’s control panel. I had been curious about it but never understood the need for it.

Yesterday morning, I updated the price of a domain name I thought was underpriced. I increased it a few thousand dollars and visited the landing page to make sure it was showing up correctly. Strangely, the original price first flashed on the landing page and it then changed to the updated price. I checked on an incognito browser and another browser I don’t use and the same thing happened. I did this multiple times, and each time, the old price briefly showed before flipping to the higher price.

I came across a video for a Congressional candidate in my area, and the domain name he is using caught my attention. Jason Poulos is running for Congress in Massachusetts’ Congressional District 4. His website can be found at Poulos.House.

.GG is the ccTLD for Guernsey. For the past few years, I’ve seen quite a few decent .GG domain name sales appear on Namebio. I’ve also read and heard from domain investors like Logan Flatt, Mark Levine, and Adam Maysonet who have sold .gg domain names.

For a long time, I’ve followed the market and decided to get my feet wet a bit. I bought around 20 .gg domain names as speculative investments using Park.io. I wouldn’t say that I am buying blindly, but I am focusing on nice one word .gg domain names I could see being desired in the aftermarket in the $5,000 – $25,000 range.

Spaceship recently upped the commission rate it charges for sales on its SellerHub platform. Spaceship started out by charging 5% to close a deal on the platform, and the commission rate was just increased to 10%. This wasn’t unexpected, but I think the company could have done a better job rolling it out while explaining why the change was necessary.

Doron Vermaat is the CEO and Founder of Efty, a domain name sales platform that recently started allowing buyers and sellers to transact via its Efty Pay offering. Efty Pay charges a 5% fee for transactions. Sellers can still opt to close deals using third party escrow and sales platforms without having to pay a commission to Efty beyond the monthly platform fee for landing pages.

In light of what I wrote about the domain name market in 2025, I thought I would ask ChatGPT to evaluate the domain name space for last year and going forward into 2026. Here’s the prompt I used:

“Write a short article giving your opinion on the state of the domain name market and aftermarket for the last year, with an emphasis on how domain investors have been impacted. In addition, provide some commentary on how you think things will progress in 2026 for domain investors.”

Earlier, this week, I hand registered six domain names. I checked on one landing page yesterday, and the correct landing page didn’t resolve. Likely due to a distraction, these domain names didn’t get added to my seller account, so an unintended landing page was shown rather than the BIN lander I wanted.

I am sure I have a dozen or two domain names that have nameservers set up correctly but were not listed for sale for one reason or another. Comparing lists in Excel is possible but can be time consuming. Instead of using Excel for this, I am going to use Chat GPT.

Here are the steps I am going to take:
