DomainSponsor offers domain parking services and it is a subsidiary of Oversee.net. DomainSponsor is the founder and organizer of DOMAINfest, a series of conference dedicated to providing relevant information and opportunities for entities in the domain industry to expand their business and increase their revenue. DomainSponsor helps domain owners to develop and monetize their domain names through direct navigation traffic.[1]
Oversee.net established DomainSponsor in 2002 as part of its domain services division to offer direct navigation traffic solutions to PPC advertisers. In 2006, the company launched DOMAINfest to cater to the needs of entrepreneurs in the domain name industry.[2] In 2009, the company expanded its operations to Europe and established its European main office in Germany. Joerg Schnermann serves as General Manager of DomainSponsor Europe.[3]
Dispute Resolution Policy
As a courtesy to its customers, DomainSponsor implemented a dispute resolution policy. The company is against any user who violates the intellectual property rights of others. If a domain name owner complains of trademark infringement, Domain Sponsor will investigate the issue within two business days. If the company finds that a certain user participating in the DomainSponsor System violated the complainant's intellectual property rights, the domain name in dispute will be removed from the system. The company may also terminate domain name owners who are found to be repeat violators. Customers are advised to submit a trademark dispute notice with complete information to DomainSponsor if their trademark is violated.[4]
ICANN Involvement
DomainSponsor is an active participant in the different activities and meetings of ICANN.[5] [6] The company also invites members of the ICANN community to serve as speakers during its DOMAINfest conferences.
