Herman Koster is the founder of 4U Systems, Inc.[1]

Work

Since early 1999, the explosive demand of dot com names has brought Koster numerous requests to sell the 4U.com name or lease names to others. After reviewing his earlier plans and realizing the ongoing demand for dot com domain names, he has decided to develop 4u.com into a name leasing business (international registry) with the 4U.com extension. He believes that the name with its multi-language capabilities will best service the Internet needs of corporations and businesses or association which requires global presence on the Internet.

With good dot com names in short supply there’s a void that can be filled by the generic dot 4U.com namespace. Domain names ending with 4U.com offer the same characteristics for indexing by search engines as the standard dot com and offer further expansion for Search Engine Optimization.[2]

Career History

Herman Koster was born and educated in the Netherlands, and has since worked on a large variety of international projects, which have taken him from Africa, South America, and the Caribbean and USA.

From 1974-1979 he traveled and worked on a global basis for DOW Chemicals as a Technical Sales Manager in their Industrial Services division executing maintenance and pre-operational projects in all kinds of different branches of industry around the world.

From 1980-1988 he was the president for KOPAL Industries a joint venture with Kissel & Wolf of Wiesloch Germany. This joint venture had the need to digitally transfer large data and graphic files between its affiliates around the world. The development and arrival of the first PC’s in the early 80’s led to in house assembly and fabrication of computer hardware to accommodate these tasks.

In 1988 Koster sold out of the joint venture, developed real estate and worked as a computer consultant.[3]
