Luxembourg, July 4th - Xavier Buck, EuroDNS’ co-founder and CEO, has been chosen as the Creative Young Entrepreneur of the Year in Luxembourg, by a jury of well known and high profile personalities from the Luxembourgish scene.

At the end of a lengthy competition, Xavier ultimately won against 2 other strong entrepreneurs, Emmanuel Vivier from Vanksen Group and Sylvain Zimmer from Jamendo. “The decision was a difficult one” comments Pedro Castilho, CYEL Project Manager. Twenty three candidates applied this year with very creative projects and interesting ideas". Criteria used to pick the winner were the company’s posiition in the market, degree of creativity, financial growth and job creations, among others
Xavier has been recognized for his entrepreneurship and visionary skills, as well as his creativity and human assets. "It is a great honor to have been chosen among such distinguished candidates” says Xavier “I want to take this opportunity to thank all my teams for their continuous efforts and support, which have been key in the success of the company and its recognition".
In less than six years, Xavier has managed to bring EuroDNS (www.eurodns.com) on the International level and place the company as one of the top European registrars. The company has experienced a steady growth in domain names’ registrations and has attracted some of the biggest portfolios of domain names under management. The success is due in part to its “one-stop-shop” strategy which allows customers to consolidate their portfolio worldwide, with more than 250 domain extensions under one roof. These assets position EuroDNS as a unique and solid player in the domain name industry.
The Creative Young Entrepreneur Luxembourg (CYEL) Award is organized by the Junior Chamber International (JCI), the world’s largest network of young entrepreneurs and leaders, with representatives in 120 countries. The purpose of the CYEL award is to recognize, celebrate and honor young entrepreneurs as well as to promote and support business creativity and development.

J+7 - The Domainer Meeting that was held at the heart of Paris on the 19th and 20th June, was a great success and achieved all expectations with more than 300 attendees and some high profile speakers and sponsors from the Domain Industry. This could not have happened without the presence, support and commitment of all sponsors, partners, speakers and attendees.  

Xavier Buck, CEO and Founder of EuroDNS, says “I would like to first thank all our great speakers, partners and sponsors on this event for their commitment and trust. This show wouldn’t have been such a success without them, and it really demonstrates how large and tied together the Domain community is. It also shows that the European market is growing fast. I would also like to thank all the people who travelled to Paris to attend the meeting. We gathered more than 300 people, who highly contributed to the global atmosphere and set up of the meeting”.

 

This truly European event tackled major concerns and managed to bring the Domain Name worlds together. It also helped the Primary market understand the Aftermarket better and gave everyone the opportunity to debate major issues and hear all the conflicting opinions.

 

The SnapNames Live Auction event that took place on the Friday afternoon garnered $361,000 in sales. Aftermarket.com sold for $125,000, while rainbows.com and domain.pl each auctioned at $45,000. PhoneAccessories.com was sold for $25,000.

The event was all about learning, networking and fun and gave people the opportunity to communicate about current issues in the Domain Industry and to raise common understanding.

Xavier concludes, “As the outcome of this meeting was so positive, we are planning to organize another one in 2009, close in time to the ICANN meeting and maybe in Prague. Keep logged into the Domainer Meeting site, more news will come up soon”.

Important information - a number of users have received letters from another entity, the so-called "Registro italiano in Internet per le imprese", which, through surface-mail mailings, (seemingly to ask the verifications of the data dealing with user activities) proposes a contract to adhere to in order to receive a service after payment.

The Institute of Informatics and Telematics of the CNR and the ccTLD .it Registry are not in the least involved with this initiative and have prepared again the necessary actions to protect any rights that might have been infringed.
