    Domains with Juan Aguirre

    On this episode of the Let's Talk podcast, ⁠Alexander Kucherenko⁠ talks with ⁠Juan Aguirre⁠, Chief Commercial Officer of ⁠Ilkari,⁠ about his path to the data centre and domain industry. Juan is a Frenchman with a Spanish name living in Switzerland. He came into the tech industry through the IPTV revolution, but before he started his tech career, he was a beekeeper in his student days to earn money for an amp for his electric guitar. He got the amp but never quite mastered the electric guitar, much to the joy of the neighbourhood. Juan shares his insight on the domain business, how domains are becoming more complex, and the value of a domain to a company's brand. He talks about the increase of malicious actors in the domain industry and how companies can weather any industry shocks if they are prepared from the start and get a handle on their privacy. Juan strives to understand his customers' business, saying it always comes down to people (not robots). Through Ilkari, he believes they bring together a comprehensive offering for customers—domains, a modern, certified data centre, co-location, and private cloud—that gives customers the tools they need to achieve more transparency and control and, ultimately, the ability to choose the tools that work for them. _________________________________________ Let's Talk is hosted by ⁠Alexander Kucherenko⁠, Business Development Manager.

Hendrikus' top three tips to manage your domain and brand successfully. Protecting your domain name now is a small feat. Re-acquiring that domain name in the future will cost much more in legal fees.Take your domain seriously.SEO involves a lot of trial and error.
