Brandshelter is the new name for SafeBrands (september 2024), a French registrar, based in Marseille and Paris, specialized in corporate domain name global services (registration, monitoring, recovery).

History

Founded in 1997 as a mail forwarding company, Mailclub has since become an advisor for companies wanting to secure their online identity.

Frédéric Guillemaut joined the company in 1998 and has worked on the processes used to develop the company in a variety of products ranging from hosting to domain names.

In 2007, Mailclub launched domaine.asia, one of the first .asia domains.

Mailclub is one of the few foreign registrars registering domain names for the Gambia.

The company became SafeBrands in September 2014.

In 2021, SafeBrands was acquired by Centralnic Group (Now Team Internet). In 2024, SafeBrands becomes BrandShelter, and stops its hosting hosting activities.
