Setting up a domain name and website hosting is often a lot harder than it should be, leaving users confused before they’ve even got started with an over-abundance of menus, options, configurations, and technical terms.
That’s what Spaceship is designed to fix: A simple, streamlined, bespoke way of creating an online presence for freelancers, founders, developers, no-code creators, and anyone else who needs a website without the stress (including domain gurus who are buying and selling domains for a living).
The underlying philosophy is of a new way to go about setting up domains and sites—one that simplifies and automates much of the process, while still giving users plenty of control so that they can see the vision for their online presence become a reality.
Everything is managed from one central online hub, and the unnecessary distractions that often accompany website services—too many notifications, technical plug-ins, DNS setup, and more—are taken care of for you, eliminating stress and letting you focus on the important decisions and features.
The difference with Spaceship

Spaceship has been built to strike a perfect balance for anyone who needs an online presence: Advanced features and options, tools that put the power and vision in the hands of users, and yet interfaces and workflows that reduce complexity and save time.
Domain registration and web services management is a business that’s been around since the early days of the web—at least as far back as the mid-90s—so it’s an industry and a way of working that’s ripe for disruption. If you’ve ever struggled with a site, email, or server setup process and thought it should be much more straightforward, Spaceship is for you.
The Spaceship difference starts with the design of its web portal, which will guide you through whichever creative process you need to tackle next—with AI-driven assistance that becomes available when you need it, and fades into the background when you don’t. Despite many different tools being available inside Spaceship, you’ll find they’re seamlessly connected, and work effortlessly together.
Whether you want to add extra server capacity or create a new email portal for people to reach you through, everything is right at your fingertips—use the Launchpad to search for whatever it is you’re looking for, or whatever task it is you want to do, and you can jump right there. You’ve never seen website management done so well.
Spaceship also adds all of the components you’d expect from a platform like this, including proactive alerts, easy account management, the ability to transfer domain names to the service, and top-tier security that protects your online assets around the clock—all managed through the comprehensive Spaceship Security Center.
The vision extends to the future too: Spaceship is always refining its products and working on new features, often in collaboration with its userbase. You can see the current roadmap here, and there’s a lot on the slate, with every feature available to be voted on (and the option to request new features accessible in a couple of clicks).
Spaceship’s key product features

Heading up the features that make Spaceship stand out from the competition is Unbox. This is Spaceship’s central management tool and its signature feature, acting like a Swiss Army Knife at the center of your online world: You can use it to auto-connect domains, hosting plans, email, SSL, and WordPress, all in a matter of seconds.
There are no menus or configuration screens to work through—you just click and go. Then there’s Alf, the AI assistant built into every aspect of the Spaceship experience. Alf brings everything that’s good about AI into a powerful helper that’s always available, always knows what you need, and always has the relevant resources to hand. Alf is expected to feature a brand new AI-driven website builder by the beginning of 2026.
We’ve already talked about Launchpad further up, which is your essential unified dashboard for domains, hosting, apps, and services. You’ll be amazed that managing such a breadth of components is so straightforward—it’s as simple as loading up search on Windows or macOS to find whatever it is you’re looking for.

There’s more, including the secure, spam-free, domain-based email service that is Spacemail, and next-gen voice, video, and chat messaging for your site through Thunderbolt. Spaceship is what you get if you design a website management service from the ground up, with everything you could want included—and it’s ready to enable you to put together whatever websites, apps, and services you need.
If you still need convincing, check out the current Spaceship promos on offer on the site: You can currently get money off domain names, web hosting, email services, WordPress connections, and more. There’s no better way to get your vision of an online presence up and running on the web—and you can put it to the test right away.
