dogado and the domain expert checkdomain join forces

“Every great idea starts with a domain” – always true to this motto, checkdomain has evolved into an expert for domains since its founding in 2000. The company from Lübeck makes it particularly easy for customers to find the desired name for their next project. With around 800 TLDs from all over the world, checkdomain supports almost every combination of domain extension and desired name. Nearly 50,000 customers, including clients such as Axel Springer, onpage.org, Sennheiser, and modomoto, now appreciate this service and the associated reliability.

Daniel Hagemeier, CEO of the dogado Group, is pleased with the acquisition: “checkdomain and dogado not only share a common market, but above all a common philosophy: we put the customer at the centre to make them successful online. With checkdomain, we have found the perfect addition to provide our customers with the right name ideas for their online projects.”

Both companies consider it particularly important that nothing will change for checkdomain customers as a result of the acquisition. Owner and founder Johannes Herold will also remain on board after the acquisition and will lead the "Growth Hacking" team in Lübeck in the future, to leverage the growth success of checkdomain within the dogado Group: “With Dogado, I have found an experienced partner to ensure the successful growth permanently. I am very excited to now be part of the dogado family. Both companies share the same understanding of customer orientation and, in combination, can leverage their strengths in the competitive hosting market. Furthermore, the merger will benefit both dogado customers from our domain expertise and our checkdomain customers from dogado's cloud services.”

With more than 190,000 customers, dogado will become one of the leading hosting companies in Germany through the merger, strengthening its position as a Full-Service Cloud Provider.
