I help domain registries reach the Spanish-speaking market, and help small businesses, international brands and resellers manage and protect their domains in a fast, efficient and affordable way.

What I do

  • For registries

    I help domain registries sell more domains in Spain and Latin America, connecting them with resellers and customers who speak Spanish. I also run INWX’s accreditation processes with registries, connecting the company to extensions it does not yet offer officially or directly: more than 30 so far.

  • For businesses and brands

    I help small businesses and international brands manage their domains in a fast, efficient and affordable way. I advise them on their domain portfolio strategy and on protecting their brand online, both before problems happen and once they have.

  • For resellers and developers

    INWX España gives you the reliability of a German, ICANN-accredited registrar, with an API to automate your domain management and support in English, Spanish, German and Catalan.

  • For press and events

    I explain ICANN rules, registry policy, RDAP and domain security in plain words, in Spanish, English, German or Catalan.

Working with

Some of the registries I regularly work with at INWX.

Career

  1. 2009

    Started in the domain industry at DonDominio / MrDomain, a registrar and hosting company in Mallorca, where I later became Chief Revenue Officer.

  2. 2019

    Joined INWX, the Berlin-based, ICANN-accredited registrar.

  3. 2020

    Founded INWX España in Mallorca, and have led it as CEO since then. Its legal name is InterNetworX SLU: the same company, under the name that appears on contracts and invoices.

  4. 2026

    I grow INWX in Spain and our reseller base, and support our parent company with registry accreditations.

What I believe about domains

  1. A domain is infrastructure.

    Email, websites and logins all hang from it. Treat it like a power line, not like a marketing expense.

  2. Security starts at the registrar.

    Hijacks usually begin with a weak account or a missing lock. Don’t wait for an attack to turn on two-factor login and registry lock at your registrar.

  3. Protect a brand before there is a problem.

    Registering the key variants and watching new registrations costs far less than recovering a domain someone else already holds. A domain portfolio strategy is part of brand strategy.

  4. Whois had its time. RDAP is better.

    Structured data, access rules and privacy by design: RDAP is how domain data should have worked from the start.

  5. The internet has to accept every script.

    Domains and email addresses with accents, Cyrillic, Arabic or Chinese should work on every website, form and mail server. Universal Acceptance decides who gets to use the internet in their own language.

  6. A TLD succeeds through its channel.

    Launch campaigns fade. What lasts is resellers and registrars who understand an extension and can explain it to their customers.

What I publish

Where I share what happens in the domain industry: a news site, a newsletter and guides.

Guides I write for INWX customers in English, Spanish and German, from what Whois is to what RDAP changes.

Off the record

When I’m not working on domains, I like riding my motorbike to discover new corners of Mallorca.

I also enjoy tinkering with small electronics projects and 3D printing.

.es domains have no public RDAP yet, so the .es lines come from IANA, which manages the root zone.
