I frequently see people posting screenshots of their domain name sales on Atom. There are different messages overlaid on the images of the logo and sale price. I thought I would share what each means so people understand the status of a sale that is shared publicly. This can help people understand if a domain name was purchased outright or with a payment plan.

There could be additional messages I haven’t seen before or don’t recall seeing, but here’s a list of Atom.com Transfer Center Messages and what I believe they mean:

Escrow.com announced the winners of its 2025 Master of Domains awards. The awards are typically given out during NamesCon, but the conference isn’t being held until November. The Master of Domains award is given to the 10 highest grossing domain brokers measured by the size of the deals they closed via Escrow.com during the prior year.

Andrew Rosener won this year’s award for the seventh consecutive year. He and his brokerage, Media Options, have been on the list for nine consecutive years. This is an impressive achievement.

Notably, if you look at the top domain name sales of the year in DNJournal and NameBio, many of these brokers are under represented. This illustrates just how many undisclosed large domain name deals are closed each year.

Congratulations to these award winners.

Andrew Miller from Hilco Digital Assets announced that his company oversaw the sale of Odyssey.com on behalf of Braden Pollock. According to the LinkedIn post, it is Braden’s largest domain name sale.

Commenting on the sale, Braden praised Andrew for helping to make the deal happen. “Andrew had to be creative to get this deal done. In the end it was a win-win,” he told me.
