Early Life

Helmuts was born in Latvia in 1976 and moved with his family to the UK in 2009.

Career

Meskonis's interest in the online world began with him building his first website in 1999. From 2007 onwards, he pursued a career focused on solving problems for clients in the online sphere, emphasizing trust and a personalized approach. This led to the establishment of his two main companies:

No Stress Limited

This company operates the hosting brand HostMaria.com. No Stress Limited also operates DNForum.com and AcornDomains.co.uk.

Domain Summit Ltd

This company organizes the annual B2B convention Domain Summit.

Domain Summit

Launched in London in 2022, the event under the initial name "London Domain Summit" (LDNS) brought together various stakeholders in the domain name industry, including registrars, investors, and technical service providers. After a successful first year, Meskonis expanded the event's scope in 2023, rebranding it as Domain Summit to reflect its global reach.

Acquisitions

In April 2023, Meskonis acquired two online forums relevant to the domain name industry:

AcornDomains.co.uk: The UK's oldest and largest domain investor forum, with over 15,400 registered members and more than 625,000 posts. DNForum.com: The oldest domain forum in the world.
