Ken Lawson
CEO of Domain Development Corporation
Domains, e-commerce, web development — monetizing the internet is what Ken does best. He began acquiring domain names in 1996 and what began as speculation proved to be the foundation for several, highly successful Internet companies. He’s founded a search engine (acquired by Value Click), an online credit card processor (acquired in a private transaction), a web consulting company, a leading provider of online insurance quotes (InsuranceQuotes.com), and a domain parking company. Ken’s experience and his passion for the business has helped make DDC the place to park for some of the highest value internet domain names in existence.
