We are probably the best provider for .de domains, with a clean workflow and a bulk dashboard. With a catcher, great tools and lots of features for .de domains. Now also with sale pages and a marketplace for internal and external domains.
We want to make managing domains simple and smart, with good prices and great bulk features. Everything programmed in-house and 100% independent of big provider corporations that try to catch and tie down customers with promos and upselling products.
These corporations do not know what their customers want either, because their support staff have usually never used a domain themselves. We do the support ourselves, so customers actually get help and we learn what we can improve for everyone.
We are domainers and have owned domains since 1998. We know what we need and always develop the platform from the point of view of a domainer with our own experience and needs. Other domain owners benefit from that too. Our motto is:
“By domainers for domainers”.
Jörn Schillmann and Felix Goldstein built ELITEDOMAINS on the side in 2017 and went online with a first version in the summer of 2018.
Our motivation for founding ELITEDOMAINS was simple: the solutions in the domain business back then frustrated us. There was no good provider for .de domains, managing domain portfolios in bulk was a nightmare and domain marketplaces were simply awful.
What really annoyed us was that almost all big providers had, and still have, interfaces from somewhere between 2004 and 2010. So there was zero innovation to be expected.

I, Jörn Schillmann, have been self-employed on the internet since 1998 and have looked after many projects of my own and of customers. My first domain, in 1998, was my surname schillmann.de. At first I developed my projects playfully and always monetised them with advertising.
Back then I ran several top lists, an ad network, a promotion network and an exotic subdomain service. Later came my own content projects, of which hausfrauentipps.de and energiespartipps.de are even still alive.
Sadly, I only became a real domainer in 2003 / 2004. Back then you could still register domains like schlitten.de by hand or by email robot. Unfortunately I sold it far too quickly for €800 :)

I, Felix Goldstein, have been self-employed as a web developer since 2006 and was already programming PHP and MySQL as a teenager: for friends, for myself, to play around or to quickly set up a guestbook for my fun site.
I have worked for many advertising agencies and publishing houses, developed MVPs for startups and built and led developer teams.
I have been a domainer since 2017. Before that I had only registered a few domains for my own projects and customers.
