DI S.A formerly known as Domain Invest is a company dedicated to the sale, purchase, monetization, development and leasing of domain names.[1] The company has agreements with some major investment companies including Iris Capital, BIP Investment Partners, Société Nationale de Crédit et d’Investissement and other individual investors; it holds a capital of 18 million Euros.[2]

DI S.A. is a subsidiary of EuroDNS.[3]

DI purchases primarily already existent websites that already generate revenue. Their method of improving monetization of the domain involves dynamically placing advertisements directly contextually related to the domain.[4]
