About DomainHQ

In an AI world, algorithms find fakes. Only humans negotiate takedowns.

We combine decades of domain expertise with modern intelligence systems. Because protecting your brand requires both technological precision and human judgment.

The Founder's Arc

27 Years at the
Frontier of DNS

The journey began in 1997, when domain names were still an afterthought for most businesses. While others saw URLs as simple addresses, we recognized them as strategic assets—and vulnerabilities.

Through the dot-com boom, the rise of cybersquatting, the ICANN expansions, and now the AI-powered threat landscape, one truth has remained constant: domains require governance, not just registration.

Today, we bring that hard-won expertise to enterprises who understand that their domain portfolio is a critical surface area that demands professional oversight.
