New Escrow.com-DomainTools Partnership Speeds Up Sales Transactions + Keynote Speaker Named for Next Month's Domaining Europe Conference in Spain

Two pillars of the domain industry, Escrow.com and DomainTools announced a new partnership today that will speed up domain sales transactions handled through Escrow.com. 

By integrating the DomainTools API suite  throughout the escrow process, Escrow.com can automatically verify that domain ownership has been transferred before they release funds to the seller. That assures that valuable domain name transactions cannot be gamed by buyers or sellers with ill intent.  

Escrow.com's  Chief Technology Officer, Jason Whitlow, noted, "Prior to partnering with DomainTools and leveraging their API suite, the process of verifying DNS, registrar and Whois record information was manual and time consuming. By automating that process with comprehensive, accurate data from DomainTools, Escrow.com is now able to verify data more quickly while providing a quicker, more seamless experience for customers."

DomainTools first announced their API services in July 2011. Nearly every piece of data available on DomainTools.com is available for use by integrating DomainTools’ standards-compliant interface via the DomainTools API page.

Xavier Buck
Keynote Speaker for Domaining Europe 2012

In a related note today, EuroDNS.com Founder and Chairman Xavier Buck, who also serves on the DomainTools Board of Directors, has been chosen to deliver the keynote speech  at the Domaining Europe 2012 conference coming up next month in Valencia, Spain. The event will run April 26-28 at the Sorolla Palace Hotel (we will be there to cover the conference for you).

Xavier, who has been an Internet entrepreneur since 1996, has founded many successful ventures including the DCL Group and several of its subsidiaries, including popular registrar EuroDNS, DomainInvest, Datacenter Luxembourg and eBrandServices.

As the DCL Group's Executive Chairman and CEO, Xavier oversees the group’s international activities with a special focus on the domain name industry, internet traffic and traffic monetization. He also finds time to serve as a director for several companies including DomainTools, OpenRegistry and LeftoftheDot.
