# Atom

A domain marketplace and registrar, formerly called Squadhelp. It sells curated brandable names, often with logos, and also offers domain appraisal, brokerage and naming services to startups and businesses.

## Why it matters

Atom focuses on brandable names for startups and businesses. Listings often come with a ready logo and a fixed price, which suits buyers who want to move fast. Atom also offers lease-to-own on some names. Sellers can list there, but they should read the commission and exclusivity terms. A common mistake is assuming a name listed on Atom is exclusive to Atom. Check where else the name is shown. Buyers should compare the fixed price to similar sales, since curated pricing is not always a bargain.
