Frank T. Schilling (born July 29, 1969) is a Cayman Islands based Internet-investor and the founder of Uniregistry Corporation. A generic top-level domain (gTLD) registry operator, Schilling has been a long-time participant in the evolution of the commercial domain name space. His registry, registrar, domain re-sale marketplace and assorted name holdings serve customers at every level of today's domain industry.
Early years
The eldest son of German/Canadian immigrants, Schilling claims he was born in the right time to become an early Web adopter. He began registering single domain registrations at the turn of the millennium. The concept of trading generic names for financial gain was considered far fetched during that era. Today participants in this space are collectively known as domainers or 'commercial registrants'.
Career
Schilling's bidding and investment activities (2004–2006) helped expand the expiring domain name auction houses; and later, other ICANN accredited registrars selling their registry connections as a drop registrar. Frank Schilling patented the "Generic Top Level Domain Rerouting System" in 2001. He financed the Caribbean's first ICANN accredited domain name registrar in 2003, joined as a member of the ICANN business constituency and co-founded the non-profit Internet Commerce Association in 2006. He began domain blogging on "Seven Mile" in 2007.
