History[edit | edit source]

Johannes Herold, an entrepreneur and self-proclaimed "tech geek", became interested in the Internet from an early age and founded his first business, Chat World, after finding that certain functions were missing from online chatrooms he encountered. He discovered the world of Domain Names and eventually purchased checkdomain.de in 2001. He then founded the company Checkdomain GmbH centered around the domain name, which has grown into a Domain Name Registrar and website hosting company with 10+ employees.[6]
