We are delighted to present Youness KASMI 🇵🇹🇲🇦, Founder of DNRater and widely known as "Angemon," as a first-time speaker at Domain Summit Europe 2025! Originally from Erfoud, Morocco, and now based in Lisbon, Portugal, since 2018, Youness is a Digital Marketing Consultant, Content Creator, Author, and Civil Engineer, renowned for his advocacy in Web3 and domain strategies across the Maghreb region and beyond.

Youness holds a Civil Engineering degree from Mohammed V University in Rabat, graduating in 2015, before transitioning into the digital space. In 2019, he founded DNRater.com, a platform offering domain ratings and digital marketing insights, empowering businesses to optimise their online presence. As a consultant, he has worked with global brands on SEO, domain strategies, and Web3 adoption, leveraging his engineering precision to bridge technical and marketing worlds.

A passionate Web3 advocate, Youness is committed to making decentralised technology accessible, particularly in the Maghreb region. Through blog posts, videos, and podcasts on platforms like YouTube and Instagram, he educates audiences on blockchain, Web3, and digital marketing, amassing 139K followers on Instagram and 53.4K subscribers on YouTube. His insights have been featured at events like Domain Days 2023, where he spoke on advancing Web3 education. In 2023, he authored Web3 Revolution: A Guide to the Decentralized Future, a book that demystifies the potential of decentralised technologies for businesses and individuals.

DNRater.com, Youness’s brainchild, addresses key challenges for domain investors. It uses AI-powered solutions to estimate accurate BIN (Buy It Now) prices, helping investors avoid lowball offers and cover costs like registration, renewal, and acquisition, as well as time spent on research and promotion. DNRater also offers a Bulk Domain Search feature, allowing users to quickly assess BIN prices for multiple domains at once, saving valuable time.

Known as "Angemon" - a nickname inspired by the Digimon franchise’s Champion-level Angel Digimon with six shining wings, symbolising virtue and confronting evil with composure - Youness has made significant contributions to the online business community through his eBooks, including 100% Adsense Approval, Domaining v1, and Fiverr Insight. These widely recognised works have helped countless individuals launch their online businesses by providing practical strategies for success. Youness believes that the real way to make money online lies in changing our mindset - instead of picking a niche, he advocates for creating a unique niche that reflects one’s individuality and expertise.

Under his GitHub handle (at)kasmiyouness, Youness has developed youthumb, a JavaScript-based tool that helps content creators generate optimised YouTube thumbnails by analysing trends and suggesting visually appealing designs. The repository has garnered significant attention, with 57 stars and 467 forks, reflecting strong engagement from the developer community. This project underscores his commitment to empowering digital creators with innovative tools.

Youness’s unique journey - from civil engineering in Morocco to digital innovation in Portugal - has shaped his perspective on technology’s role in accessibility and education. His work focuses on simplifying complex concepts, inspiring individuals and brands to embrace the Web3 revolution while building a stronger online identity through strategic domain use.

Youness’s session will explore the intersection of Web3, domain strategies, and digital marketing, offering actionable insights on leveraging decentralised tech for brand growth. Drawing from his experience with DNRater.com, his eBooks, his youthumb project, and his advocacy in the Maghreb, he’ll share how businesses can navigate the Web3 landscape, optimise their digital presence, and harness domains as powerful assets - essential for marketers, tech enthusiasts, and domain investors eager to shape the future of the internet!

We are delighted to present Chris Chaplow 🇪🇸, Founder and Managing Director of Andalucia.com, as a first-time speaker at Domain Summit Europe 2025!

With over three decades of work in the domain industry, Chris has nurtured Andalucia.com into a global standard for geographical domains, focusing on sharing useful information rather than pursuing profit - a philosophy established well before Google emerged.

Chris’s story begins with an honours degree in Civil Engineering from King’s College London, followed by managing significant projects such as the Twickenham South Grandstand. In 1991, he relocated to Spain, and by 1993, he launched Spain’s first online image bank, a digitised database of Andalucian images for global media. This paved the way for Andalucia.com, founded in 1996 with co-founder Chris Mason in Kingston upon Thames, London. It was the first site to offer travel information on Andalucia, growing into the third most popular travel destination site worldwide, with 450,000 monthly visitors, 10,000 English pages, and 3,500 Spanish pages. In 2008, it received the inaugural Costa del Sol Business of the Year award from the Junta de Andalucia.

Andalucia.com is more than a domain - it’s a living, breathing part of the digital landscape, brimming with history, personality, and potential. Chris, who avoids the “domain investor” label, holds a portfolio focused on Andalucia and city geographical domains, viewing the best domains as legacies, not transactions. He also founded Andalucia Web Solutions, assisting clients in building domain portfolios, protecting intellectual property, and staying informed of ICANN policies like new gTLD developments and cybersquatting risks.

A committed member of the ICANN Business Constituency (BC) since 2009, Chris has attended around 17 ICANN meetings, most recently in Frankfurt, and served as BC Vice Chair for Finance and Operations from 2010 to 2014. He’s played a pivotal role, chairing the Commercial Stakeholders Working Group on ICANN Budget and Operating Plan, and contributing to groups like the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Working Group and the Study Group on Use of Names for Countries and Territories. He’s also a former member of the British Chamber of Commerce in Spain, serving on its Governing Council from 2008 to 2012.

Chris’s session will examine his 30-year journey with Andalucia.com, sharing valuable lessons on building a domain that endures. He’ll explore why true domain stewardship is rooted in the right vision - prioritising legacy over profit - and how this approach has made Andalucia.com a trusted resource for millions. A must for domain enthusiasts, investors, and digital strategists aiming to leave a lasting mark!
