Featured Attendee & Speaker | Domain Summit Europe 2026
Some people register domains.

Thomas Dolezal industrialises the process.

We are delighted to feature Thomas Dolezal from Austria 🇦🇹, founder of webAgentur, as a Featured Attendee and Speaker at Domain Summit Europe 2026 in Kempten, Germany.

Thomas is one of the most serious .de-focused domain investors in Europe, with a portfolio said to be around half a million domains, mostly .de, and an approach built around scale, systems and programmatic registration.

That makes him very different from the romantic idea of a domainer sitting with a notebook and a few favourite names.

Thomas works at infrastructure scale.

He has been active in the domain business for more than 25 years. Long before domain investing became fashionable, he was already operating in the registrar and hosting world through https://t.co/s0yWI1A0OC, https://t.co/9N0q5leKUc and https://t.co/IjdBNRuX6e.

In 2001, https://t.co/9N0q5leKUc was already reported to have registered more than 12,000 domain names in the previous year and held nearly 7% of new .at registrations. That tells you something important: Thomas was not a late arrival. He was there when the European domain market was still being built.

In 2022, the https://t.co/EaBYXjVlQk and https://t.co/kOABEtvTJF brands became part of easyname and the dogado group, with more than 4,000 customers moving to the easyname platform. After that, https://t.co/s0yWI1A0OC focused more clearly on its agency business.

Thomas is also the author of “Investieren in Domains: Das Handbuch für Domainer”, a 320-page German-language handbook for domain investors, published in 2025. The book covers how to find, value and sell domains, including Geo-domains, keyword domains and expired domains.

That matters because Thomas is not only trading domains.

He is documenting the craft.

For Domain Summit Europe 2026, Thomas brings exactly the kind of perspective we want in Kempten:
large-scale domain investing,
automation,
.de market experience,
registrar history,
real-world portfolio management,
and the discipline of someone who has seen several generations of the domain market come and go.

Welcome to Domain Summit Europe 2026, Thomas 🇦🇹

.. searching for ccTLD zone files at #eurodig 🇧🇪🇪🇺 .. so far, no luck here, despite great environment, fabulous people and discussions about quantum computing.. It seems most EU ccTLDs prefer keeping their zone files private. Will keep searching 🤞

Happy Sunday @5quirks - does Unstoppable Domains offer an API or partner data feed for the auctions listed at https://t.co/mlRHGjeFrM? Tx.

On DNForum, we already operate a live .com auction feed @ https://t.co/EGIj0WnXwD and would love to integrate UD next.

In short = free visibility opportunity for #UnstoppableDomains.

No listing fee.
No integration fee.
No affiliate tags.
No tracking links.
Just clean URLs sending interested buyers directly to the relevant Unstoppable Domains auction pages.

Also, could we have a separate feed for completed / reported sales, which could help us publish verified or semi-structured sales activity in the DNForum Reported Sales section @ https://t.co/FlocnCPdXs?

I (@helmutsmeskonis) have had conversations with @ntropiq about this for some time, and maybe this is the right moment to move the technical side forward if an API, XML/JSON feed, or partner endpoint is possible.

Happy Sunday!! Helmuts

Featured Attendee | Domain Summit Europe 2026

Some people trade domains.

Angus Ewen works in the places where digital assets change hands, change purpose, and sometimes begin their second life.

We are delighted to feature Angus Ewen from the UK 🇬🇧, of EW3N Ltd, as a Featured Attendee at Domain Summit Europe 2026 in Kempten, Germany.

EW3N is a family-led digital asset business run by three brothers: Alex, Ryan and Angus Ewen.

Their world is not only about buying and selling domains. It is about distressed digital assets, portfolios, websites, marketplaces, liquidity, loans, recovery, repositioning and timing.

That makes Angus an especially interesting person to have in the room.

EW3N has been involved with a number of domain and digital asset projects, including Digital Junkyard, Digital Scrapyard, https://t.co/e8u6brYUAf, https://t.co/7fi9LnhE8q, https://t.co/DSaZq7mcFx and the former Digital Candy dot UK / Domain Manage chapter.

Some of these brands have closed, some have changed direction, and some are being rebuilt. That is the nature of this part of the industry: it moves fast, and it rewards people who can make decisions when others hesitate.

A personal note makes this especially meaningful.

EW3N was the company that sold https://t.co/u0K0GTEwbs to me, Helmuts, after acquiring it from Epik. So in a very real way, Angus and the EW3N brothers are part of the modern DNForum story as well.

That is exactly the kind of person Domain Summit Europe is built for:

practical,
entrepreneurial,
quietly experienced,
close to real transactions,
and involved in the parts of the domain industry where value is not discussed in theory, but decided in the deal.

Today's Featured Attendee | Domain Summit Europe 2026

Some people follow the domain market.
Reynard “Rey” Rion reads the signal beneath it.

We are delighted to feature Rey Rion from Indonesia 🇮🇩, now with RollerAds, as a Featured Attendee at Domain Summit Europe 2026 in Kempten, Germany.

Rey is one of those people who understands domains from several angles: as an investor, as a business development professional, as someone who has worked in Web3 domains, and now as someone operating closer to domain traffic, monetisation and performance advertising.

Many in the industry know him from his time at Freename, where he helped bring the Web2 and Web3 domain conversation into rooms like Domain Summit Africa 2026. Today, at RollerAds, he is moving into another highly relevant part of the domain economy: what happens to domain traffic after the name is registered, parked, redirected or monetised.

RollerAds is a high-performance ad network focused on traffic, website monetisation, Push, OnClick and Direct Click formats. For domain owners, the interesting part is its domain traffic monetisation approach, including DNS-based parked-domain monetisation, Direct Click, RSOC-style search feeds, and the ability to connect large domain portfolios.

That makes Rey’s perspective especially interesting.

Because domain investing is not only about buying and selling names.
It is also about traffic, intent, privacy, monetisation, timing and knowing when a quiet asset is still alive.

Rey is also known as a privacy-oriented domain investor under the Nameably name on X. That fits the character: thoughtful, careful with signal, and much more interested in substance than noise.

For Domain Summit Europe 2026, this is exactly the kind of attendee we want in Kempten:
international,
practical,
domain-native,
privacy-aware,
and connected to the evolving business of domain traffic.

Featured Attendee | Domain Summit Europe 2026

Some people follow traffic.
Jonathan Dsouza understands typo monetization.

We are delighted to feature Jonathan Dsouza from India 🇮🇳, Director, Publisher Alliances at SitePlug, as a Featured Attendee at Domain Summit Europe 2026 in Kempten, Germany.

Jonathan sits in one of the most interesting corners of the domain economy: the space where domain traffic, user intent, typo correction, performance marketing and publisher monetisation meet.

SitePlug is part of the Affinity 🇺🇸 ecosystem, a privacy-friendly ad-tech group operating across ad networks and SaaS products, with a focus on measurable outcomes, publisher monetisation and alternatives beyond the GOOG-FB duopoly.

At SitePlug, Jonathan works with publishers, domainers and partners around solutions that help high-intent users reach the right destination. For domain investors, the most relevant part is Site Direct: a solution built around monetising branded typo domains by redirecting users to the correct brand’s website, with brand-approved redirection and a domain-owner-friendly setup.

This is not theoretical infrastructure.

SitePlug’s materials describe Site Direct as trusted by top parking companies and domainers, supporting monetisation across 50+ countries, with 2,000+ active brands and 100,000+ branded typo domains being redirected to brand websites.

That makes Jonathan’s perspective especially valuable.

Because domains are not only names.
They are also traffic, mistakes, intent, recovery, trust and sometimes the difference between a lost user and a completed transaction.

Jonathan is already known to many in the Domain Summit community. At Domain Summit Europe 2025 in London, he spoke about how SitePlug mastered the art of monetising misspelled domains.

For Domain Summit Europe 2026, Jonathan brings exactly the kind of practical knowledge we want in Kempten:
commercial,
technical,
publisher-focused,
domain-relevant,
and close to the real monetisation layer of the internet.

Good morning @NameClubDomains!

Do you offer an API for your domain auctions at https://t.co/RsC9YhKKrU?

We would love to explore integrating your auction inventory into our live domain auction feeds across several established domain investor communities.

For example, on DNForum we already run a live .com auction feed here:
https://t.co/EGIj0WnXwD
From your auctions page, we can see a very large inventory — 555,000+ domains overall — including great coverage across .com, .net, .ai, .io and other gTLDs, as well as ccTLDs.

This will be valuable for NameClub because we help surface active domain auctions directly in front of domain investors, brokers, developers, registrars, hosting companies and end-user buyers across our forum network.

We would be interested in integrating in the feed of our family forums:
.com, .net, .ai, .io and other gTLDs into DNForum
.uk / .co.uk into @acorndomains: https://t.co/w067QW6W2z
.de into @ConsultDomainDE: https://t.co/SZptF0huPM
.fr into https://t.co/H4ZN1XFO6J
.nl and .be into https://t.co/443N6DWVHY
.. and there are few more

:) there would be no cost to NameClub for this. Not now, not later :)

We also do not attach affiliate tags or tracking links. The feeds use clean destination URLs, sending interested buyers directly to the relevant NameClub auction pages.

For NameClub, this means extra targeted visibility, clean referral traffic, and potentially more bidding activity from established domain communities — without any integration fee or affiliate arrangement required.

Do you have an API, data feed, XML/JSON export, affiliate feed, or any partner integration option for your auctions?

Shall we look into this?

Happy Sunday! @helmutsmeskonis
