Who We Are
Domain Holdings was founded by industry pioneers John Ferber and Chad Folkening, whose collective experience combines for over 30 years and countless billions of dollars in sales for their customers from their product and services they have developed.
Ferber was the Chief Product Officer and co-founder of Advertising.com, successfully shepherding the company’s growth into the world’s largest third-party online advertising network. Advertising.com was acquired by AOL in 2004 for $500 million dollars and is the cornerstone of AOL’s Advertising Division.
Folkening is the founder of eCorp.com and has been active in the domain and tech space since establishing himself as an industry visionary in 1996. He has successfully built, sold and acquired websites that have led to development deals and partnerships with leading tech companies like Zynga, and top Fortune 500 companies that include Google, Microsoft and Disney.
The two set out to establish a top-tier company that manages all aspects of a domain’s life-cycle, from acquisition to divestment. Built on the premise of working with only the best people, technological innovation and strong customer service, the result is the company you see today.

Technology Innovation:
In 2010, we released a proprietary platform – DomainPower.com – offering domainers an alternative development and monetization vehicle, as well as traditional parking solutions. Emphasizing ease-of-use and best-of-breed user interface design and development, the platform allows users to easily manage, monetize and grow their domain portfolios. Today, the award-winning DomainPower platform is the premiere technology solution offered to domainers – for free.

We are made up of domainers and Internet entrepreneurs. The team, from the board down to our interns, is fully entrenched in the domain landscape. This allows us to reach the market with news, innovation, best practices and advice, staying up to date and ahead of the curve in the constant evolution of the Internet landscape. As that landscape changes, so too does the needs of our clients and openly communicating and staying active in the industry allows our company to help clients navigate that change more effectively.
The Future
In early 2011, we completed a $2.9 million raise in Series A capital from WWC Capital, BrokersWeb founder and CEO Matias de Tezanos, Valhalla Partners and other angels. The funding enables us to further position ourselves as a world-class domain life-cycle management company through technological innovation and high-quality talent acquisition.
