The domain industry had a boom during the 1990s. Pioneer investors already took most of the good domain names. After that, nobody thought that somebody else would become one of the most brilliant entrepreneurs of the high quality, generic domains. In 2002, Frank Schilling broke that paradigm and began to build an empire in the domain industry. Today, he is the owner of Name Administration, Inc. headquartered in Cayman Island where he also resides.

The company annual revenue is in the average of $20 millions and began to trade its stock in the securities market in February 2007. Schilling, a young boy from Germany, went to Canada during the Cold War. He practically built his empire from zero. People always thought that he used a lot of money to begin his fortune. However, he really used some savings and credit cards. He didn’t have a high education when he started; in fact, he was not an English speaker. His hard work to get things done and the encouragement received from his family put him on the road to success.

His company, Namedia, is devoted to the management of domain names. Schilling domains portfolio exceed 243,000 domains. The website operates around 100 different categories such as Automotive, Advertising, Travel, Weather, etc. Some of the main domains names you are able to find in Schilling’s portfolio are Canada.Net, TravelBeijing.com, BeverlyHillsCalifornia.com, and others. Schilling's success in this industry is due to his emphasis to adding value to his website by assuring relevant information. He also has his own website blog that is featured with any kind of link, so people can navigate through huge information in the industry.
