Domain updates

Stay up to date with Spaceship Domain's progress. If you have suggestions for improvements to Spaceship, you can add this to the Request new feature form in our roadmap.

August 2024

Custom URL redirects for subdomains

Easily set up URL redirects to forward traffic from your subdomain to a destination URL. Plus, get free SSL protection on 301, 302, and Frame redirects with this latest Spaceship update. 

Improved DNS authentication: TLSA records

Boost DNS security with transport layer security authentication (TLSA) records, now available to configure. Edit TLSA records to store TLS/SSL fingerprints in the DNS for your domains. 

Faster load times for Domain Portfolio

Now, instead of infinite scrolling, you can select the number of domains loaded at once. This improves Domain Portfolio load times and overall performance. 

July 2024 

Custom nameservers: Propagation checker upgrade

Now, if a DNS zone file is missing from your setup, the propagation checker notifies you and explains what you need to do next.     

Improved transfer process

Transferring your domains should be seamless, so we added checks on key transfer points. Authorization code and domain lock checks now happen before you submit your transfer, reducing mid-transfer setbacks.

Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)

IDNs have been added to Spaceship. You can now register domains in various languages, giving you even more options online. 

June 2024

Transfer in external domains

Transfer domains from other registrars to Spaceship without disconnecting products, like email and hosting plans. Complete transfers seamlessly in just a few steps, and easily manage configured domains all from one place.

Having more than just a domain is elevating, and having more domains to choose from is empowering. That’s exactly why we add more, every month, just for you.

February 2024

HTTPS URL redirect is now available

You can now redirect traffic to another domain while securing and encrypting data with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) URL redirect. This service, which is free of charge for all of our customers, allows you to use secure URL redirects, which are now SSL enabled. Boost your site's trust and credibility, and enjoy an improved user experience.

To keep Spaceship flexible, you have multiple access points when assigning your URL redirects. 

• Domain List: Head to your Domain List, select the domain you’d like to redirect, and hit URL redirect in the side panel. Or, using the Domain List too, you can use Connections to assign your redirects. Hit the plus on the domain you want to configure and find URL Redirects in the Connect to page.

• Unbox™: When you Unbox™ a domain, you’ll see URL redirect ready to be assigned in seconds.

New domains for you 

Offering new domains for your digital journey is central to Spaceship’s purpose. So, with our constantly expanding domain offers, we’ve added .asia, .kids, and .bot for you to choose from.
