I
guess it is now fair to say that Helmuts
Meskonis has gone nuts - about domains
that is! The founder of the London
Domain Name Summit conference that
debuted last
summer has just acquired the UK's
oldest and largest domain investor's forum - AcornDomains.co.uk.
With this purchase (at an undisclosed price)
Meskonis gains a popular platform for promoting the
next edition of his Summit for the European and
global domain name industry that is coming up August
22-23 at the Hilton London
Metropole.
Acorn
Domains has over 15,400 registered members and
has accumulated more than 625,000 posts.
Helmuts noted, "The Acorn acquisition aligns well with
the London Summit's mission to connect the domain name industry and create more business opportunities for everyone in the industry."
Meskonis,
a domain investor and serial entrepreneur who also
operates the global hosting brand HostMaria,
added, "We will be bringing in several more moderators from the established Acorn Domains community to help ensure that the forum continues to be a
friendly and safe place for everyone. Our goal is to provide an environment that fosters productive discussions and connections, while also promoting the financial success of all of our members.
Also, a huge thanks to Steve Napier for carrying the torch for so many years, and letting me be a part of what I think is one of the most important resources in the UK domain
industry, it is truly an honor."
Meskonis
said he is also working on several other strategic partnership deals related to both AcornDomains.co.uk and
the London Summit. The first strategic partnership has already been signed with
London-based Intis Telecom, administrator
of the .it.com
registry, who will be the Presenting Sponsor of
the 2023 London Domain Name Summit.
Meskonis has also announced
that popular domain industry veteran Tess
Diaz (the former Executive Producer
and Host of DomainSherpa.com) will serve as
the Conference Moderator and Facilitator. |
