Marketplace purchases include the exact-match URL and a complimentary logo design, with transfer initiated after payment verification. Most marketplace domains offer instant purchase and Lease to Own plans. Developers can use REST APIs and MCP access for domain search, appraisal, trademark screening, registration, and DNS operations; partners can add inventory through APIs or data feeds and launch white-label marketplaces on Atom’s infrastructure. Atom lists.com registration at $9.95 per year and provides 24/5 chat support for marketplace purchases. It offers web and API access, a free plan, and paid options from $100 one-time.

NameSpark is a web tool for generating app and startup names and checking whether domains are available. Users enter a description, and its algorithm draws on the industry, values, and target audience to produce suggestions. The site says domain checks happen in real time; users can save favorites and choose one to claim, or click a preferred domain to buy it through a platform they choose. Premium suggestions include.com,.tech,.ai, and.io variations. The Free plan is free, billed forever, and gives two searches total, five suggestions per search, a basic.com check, and 48-hour search history. Premium is $19, paid once, billed one-time, with 30 or more premium suggestions, unlimited searches and history, the listed domain variations, and priority support. NameSpark supports industry inputs and basic style controls, but offers no brand identity or trademark guidance. Its listed name-generation limit is 10 /mo, and it has no export options.
