Owned by Tucows
Yes, they've owned that portfolio of surname domains for a long time:
Tucows | Tucows to Acquire NetIdentity
(although they occasionally sell)
If anyone here (or someone you know) ever wants to buy one of the surname domains owned by Tucows, reach out to me for guidance. I have bought and sold more of those surname domains than anyone on the planet. (I also used to manage that portfolio of surnames for five years when I worked at Tucows.)
@MaiTaiMan So hypothetically...
I negotiate aziz.com and Tucows sells it to me.
What happens to the people using the email subscription service?
THe reason I ask is I know a couple of people using me@aziz.com
At the beginning I thought they owned the domain and I thought I was insane to own that name but I realized what it was used for once I navigated over to it.
I thought about that too
@MapleDots. Canadian domainer also offers e-mail addresses on domains they pick up from drop lists. What happens to the e-mail addresses when they sell the domain?

In the extremely rare event that one of those surname domains gets sold, there is a lengthy email migration period where existing customers are migrated to a new email address. There is a whole protocol and process for this type of scenario, but these domains rarely change hands, since the owner is very reluctant to sell any of them.
