Domain Investors Call for Easier TXT Verification on Spaceship.com: A Real Chat With ALF AI Assistant
As domain investors, we often juggle hundreds—sometimes thousands—of domain names across different marketplaces. Platforms like Afternic, Sedo, and Atom understand the importance of simplifying processes, especially when it comes to domain ownership verification.
But what happens when a platform requires unique TXT verification codes for every single domain?
That’s exactly what myself, a seasoned domainer, brought to the attention of Spaceship.com via a conversation with their ALF-AI assistant. Below is the full verbatim chat that highlights the challenge and a polite but firm push for a more scalable solution.
Verbatim Chat With Spaceship.com ALF - AI Assistant
Haroon: Where can I find Verification TXT code?
ALF: To find your Verification TXT code, please select the domain you want to verify. The unique verification code is provided in your Brand Store seller dashboard—just click the 'Get Verification Instructions' button there. Once you have the code, you can add it as a TXT record using the Advanced DNS Application.
Haroon: Is TXT code for my domain names uniform or separate code for each domain?
ALF: Each domain has its own unique TXT verification code. The codes are not uniform—they are different for every domain you want to verify. You can find the specific code for each domain in your Brand Store seller dashboard by selecting the domain and clicking 'Get Verification Instructions.'
Haroon: It will be a tedious job if the code for each domain name is UNIQUE.
ALF: I understand—it can feel like extra work when each domain requires a unique TXT verification code. This process is designed to keep your domains secure and ensure only authorized users can connect them to services like Brand Store.
Haroon: Afternic has NS3 option where they give one uniform code, that I can use at Nameserver 3. And Sedo and Atom give one TXT code, uniform for all my names. Either you have to uniform one TXT code for my names, or create an option of NS3, where we can paste your verification code. Please try to understand the practical difficulties. For smaller number of names, it is okay, but copying and pasting UNIQUE code for 912 names is very very difficult. You are in the industry for years, at least you should think about ease of work for your clients.
ALF: Thank you for sharing your feedback and explaining the challenges with verifying a large number of domains using unique TXT codes. I understand how much easier it would be to have a uniform code or an NS3 option like some other platforms offer.
Currently, Spaceship requires a unique TXT code for each domain to ensure security and proper verification. However, your suggestion is very valuable, and I will make sure to pass it along to the product team for consideration.
Haroon: Sorry, not possible to copy-paste Unique TXT code for each of 912 names. I will wait till you provide easy verification method. I request you to pass my concern to your Superiors for their action.
ALF: Thank you for sharing your concerns so clearly. I understand that verifying 912 domains individually with unique TXT codes is not practical, and your feedback about needing a simpler, bulk-friendly verification method is very important.
I will make sure your request and concerns are passed on to the Spaceship product team and management. Your input helps us improve our services, and I hope we can offer a more convenient solution in the future.
