Afilias was formed in October 2000 by a group of 19 major domain name registrars. CEO Hal Lubsen, CTO Ram Mohan, CMO Roland LaPlante and Compliance Officer Steven Pack were the founding management team.
In February 2010, Afilias acquired mTLD Top Level Domain Ltd., the sponsoring organization and registry operator for the.mobi top-level domain. While dotMobi continues to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary, Afilias is now the registered Registry Operator for the.mobi domain.
In December 2012, Afilias acquired registryPro, the sponsoring organization and registry operator for the.pro top-level domain. While RegistryPro continues to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary, Afilias is now the registered Registry Operator for the.pro domain.
In October 2015, Afilias acquired domain name registrar 101domain, with the registrar's CEO Wolfgang Reile stepping down and its COO and CFO Anthony M. Beltran leading operations under Afilias.
In December 2017, Afilias was chosen by auDA to supply.au registry services. Afilias opened its Melbourne Australia branch to do this. Under Ram Mohan's leadership, Afilias successfully completed the historic transition on July 1, 2018, setting the Guinness World Records title for Largest migration of an internet top-level domain in a single transition following its transfer of 3,153,979.au domain names on Sunday, July 1, 2018.
