KeyDrive is an internet solutions holding company based in Luxembourg. The company offers a range of internet-related services through its subsidiaries, including domain registration, monetization, aftermarket services, and more. KeyDrive was created in June 2011 through the merger of Key-Systems and NameDrive, and since then, it has become a key player in the domain registration and internet services industry. In this startup showcase, we’ll take a closer look at how KeyDrive is revolutionizing the internet solutions market.
A Comprehensive Range of Internet Solutions
KeyDrive’s subsidiaries offer a wide range of internet-related services, making it a one-stop-shop for all your online needs. The Key-Systems group, based in St. Ingbert, Germany, specializes in domain registration and related internet services. With over 300 domain extensions in its portfolio, Key-Systems has subsidiaries in the USA and Mexico and holds shares in several internet-related companies, including the internet consulting experts Thomsen Trampedach and the Polish registrar AZ.pl. The technical registry provider KSregistry GmbH is a fully owned Key-Systems subsidiary. SKYWAY DataCenter, another fully-owned subsidiary of Key-Systems, offers worldwide customers hosting, colocation, vCloud hosting, and root/managed servers, serving as a technical backbone of the KeyDrive affiliated companies.
The NameDrive group, based in Wasserbillig, Luxembourg, is one of the largest parking companies in the world. NameDrive offers parking solutions with targeted premium landing pages, making it a perfect fit for KeyDrive’s strategy of providing customers with high-quality one-stop solutions related to internet addresses. NameDrive also has a technical center in Bucharest, a US office in Texas, and partner offices in Spain and Japan.
Moniker and SnapNames, based in Florida and Oregon, USA, respectively, were acquired by KeyDrive in January 2012. Moniker is one of the top 15 ICANN accredited registrars for generic top-level domains on the international market, and it has a strong reputation for being a provider of reliable and safe domain registrations, especially in the USA. Together with SnapNames, Moniker opens up the secondary domain market to KeyDrive, bridging the gap in the secondary life cycle of domain names. This includes domain sale (brokerage), domain auctions, and the targeted registration immediately after the release of previously registered internet addresses (backordering).
A Global Outreach
With the acquisition of Moniker and SnapNames, KeyDrive’s product range and geographical direction were extended, making it a global player in the internet solutions market. The KeyDrive group now has a large global outreach, targeting a broader customer base and allowing the group members to perfectly cross-sell their services. Furthermore, all European clients gain access to US buyers and sellers of domain names. KeyDrive’s subsidiaries operate in several countries, including the USA, Germany, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Romania, and Japan, making it a truly international company.
Leadership and Innovation
Alexander Siffrin, CEO and founder of Key-Systems, is the Chairman of KeyDrive S.A. Siffrin founded Key-Systems in 1998, and since then, the company has become a leader in domain registration and related internet services. Under his leadership, KeyDrive has continued to innovate and expand, acquiring Moniker and SnapNames in 2012 to further enhance its product range and geographical reach. With more than 160 employees and rising, KeyDrive is well-positioned for continued growth and success.
