Atom Pay Offers $10 Transaction Fee Through 2025

Atom.com introduced one of the better Black Friday deals I’ve seen offered. The platform is allowing customers to transact with its Atom Pay service for just $10 instead of the 4.5% standard transaction fee. Theoretically, this could be a huge savings depending on the size of deals transacted on the platform.

Sedo Ends Partnership with Atom

I was in my Atom.com dashboard this evening, when I saw a note to customers in the message center. According to the note, “Sedo has decided to end its partnership with Atom.” Atom customers who have premium listings on the platform also automatically have their domain names appear for sale on Sedo. This will no longer be the case.

I am not really sure why Sedo would choose to end this relationship with Atom. It would seem to be a good chance to expand its inventory of domain names for sale, particularly in growing verticals like .AI where Atom seems to be making some inroads.

Saw.com Announces $100 Million in Domain Name Deals

The Saw.com domain name sales brokerage and sales platform announced a milestone this morning. The company surpassed $100,000,000 in domain name deals. I presume this includes private brokerage sales along with deals closed on its platform.

Saw.com was founded in 2019 by Jeffrey Gabriel, a domain broker (and industry legend) who worked at a high level at other domain brokerage firms. Jeff founded Saw.com and he has built a strong team with brokers located throughout the world. More recently, Saw.com opened up its platform for domain investors to list their domain names for sale.

Congratulations to Saw.com on its milestone.

James Tuplin Moves to Above.com

James Tuplin has considerable experience on the monetization and supplier side of the domain investment business. For the last ten years, James worked as Director of Business Develipment at Bodis, and he announced his departure last week. That news was covered by Theo at DomainGang.com.

This morning, David Warmuz, CEO of Trillion.com, announced that James will be joining Above.com as Director of Business Development. Trillion.com owns and operates Above.com. In his new role, James will continue to work with domain investors and corporate partners.

Com Laude to Acquire MarkMonitor

Com Laude has built its reputation as a leading domain name management service and registrar for large corporations. The company competes against several other companies that offer similar services in the domain name industry, including MarkMonitor, CSC, and GoDaddy’s Brandsight.

This morning, Com Laude announced the acquisition of MarkMonitor. The company was owned by Newfold Digital, which had somewhat recently acquired the brand from Clarivate in 2022.

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.
