Domain Holdings Group, LLC operates as a specialized brokerage firm focused on the acquisition and representation of premium domain names for a global clientele. The company was established in 2009 and is headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida.
The firm was co-founded by John Ferber and Chad Folkening, two veterans of the internet marketing and domain industries. Ferber's background includes co-founding Advertising.com, which was later acquired by AOL for approximately $500 million. Folkening founded eCorp.com and has been active in the domain and technology space since 1996, building and selling websites and forging partnerships with major tech companies. Their combined experience formed the foundation of a company designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a domain name, from acquisition to divestment.
Domain Holdings Group generates revenue through commissions on the sale and acquisition of digital assets. The business model is centered on providing expert brokerage services. This includes representing owners of high-value domains, executing confidential 'stealth' acquisitions for corporations, and securing social media handles. The firm also provides services for website sales, domain portfolio management, auction management, and valuations. The company serves a diverse client base, ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies and well-known brands such as Mark Cuban Companies, Match.com, and Web.com. The company's brokerage team has successfully facilitated over $100 million in domain transactions. In 2011, the company secured $2.9 million in Series A funding from investors including WWC Capital and Valhalla Partners to expand its technological capabilities and talent. More recently, a broker from the group facilitated the acquisition of Arch.com for $701,000 in August 2025.
