Last week, Spaceship’s new SellerHub opened for third party beta testing. Participants were limited to larger portfolio operators. Yesterday, CEO Richard Kirkendall announced the launch date for anyone interested in using the platform:

For those that have been asking, Sellerhub will be open to everyone in public beta in just over a week on April 29th.

Spaceship’s Seller Hub platform will be open for all Spaceship customers (and others who wish to become customers) on Tuesday, April 29th. Notably, this is still considered a beta period, meaning the company is still making changes and improvements to the platform.

From what I can tell as an observer who wasn’t tried the platform, the SellerHub offers domain investors a platform to negotiate deals with prospective buyers and transact sales. Those buyers are able to find the domain names for sale via the landing pages offered by the SellerHub and through domain search channels at Spaceship and its larger sister company, Namecheap.

At launch, Spaceship has been charging a 5% sales commission for successful deals. Richard told me the commission rate may increase in the future, but it won’t increase beyond 10%.

I would imagine Richard and his team would appreciate receiving any feedback sellers who use the platform may have to improve it or identify any issues that may exist with the platform.

For as long as I’ve known the platform, Atom.com has relied on an “Expert Review Process” to evaluate domain names submitted by prospective sellers. This process, led by a group of experienced Atom sellers, helped accelerate the onboarding of domain names if they received enough positive votes.

That review system is now coming to an end, with Atom shifting to an in-house review process for all submitted domains. The company announced the change in a message to sellers, which I’ve included below.

Atom.com recently introduced its Domain Talk feature. The Domain Talk feature is an AI-generated audio snippet that appears on a domain’s landing page, offering a creative description of how the domain name could be used. The may help a potential buyer visualize branding possibilities, and that may help boost interest and increase the chances of selling a domain name.

While Domain Talk rolled out piecemeal and I only received a notification about it being added to a couple of my domain names, users are now able to generate their own Domain Talk snippets for their landing pages. Atom is allowing users to use “AI credits” to generate these snippets. Previously, these credits were solely used for image and logo creation.

In one of the largest publicly reported domain name sales of 2025 so far, Andrew Rosener reported that he sold ABTC.com for $699,999. Andrew shared this sale on the most recent episode of Domain Sherpa, which I have embedded above (discussion starts around the 17 minute mark).

Although Andrew Rosener is a domain broker and CEO of Media Options, the domain name was acquired via Afternic. The BIN price had been $749,000.

I have a bit more than 100 domain names listed for sale on Atom.com, and a handful are listed on its Ultra Premium Marketplace (UPM). This afternoon, I received an email from Atom informing me that “Domain Talk” was added to Tangy.com, which is one of my UPM-listed domain names.

According to the email I received, Domain Talk is “a quick, spoken take on what makes the name great.” The Domain Talk graphic and play button are located below the fold on the landing page. I presume the Domain Talk feature is different for each domain name, but I only have it on one of my domain names so far.
