Rook Media buys Domain Sponsor

On April 21st Oversee.net announced that Rook Media bought its Domain Sponsor monetization business. 

Domain Sponsor was founded in 2002 as one of the original domain parking companies.   Rook Media claims to be Europe’s largest domain monetization platform.

Last month’s DomainFest was interestingly produced by Domain Sponsor, in contrast with past DomainFests which were produced by the parent company Oversee.net.  Was there already an informal deal?  

What’s left of Oversee.net?  A press release by Corinne Forti stated that “Oversee can now focus on more aggressively developing its growth businesses. The company has been continually enhancing its online portfolio of web properties and mobile applications with strong brands that engage user’s passions.”
