While working as an intern in Leeds Metropolitan University, he got a job in McDonalds where he was amazed by the good organisation of such a huge company and its policy towards the workers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After following a Network Administration seminar organised by Microsoft, an idea got stuck in Dimitris\u2019 mind: internet access in communal spaces. In 1998, he designed and created the first <\/span><b>Internet kiosks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that functioned with coins and were placed in big hotels! Back in the times, the idea was great. However, his start up didn\u2019t get the expected success. Dimitris didn\u2019t lose his courage: the experiment opened a new door in his career and he started working for the Foundation for Research &amp; Technology Hellas (FORTH). Parallely, he took his first steps in website building and hosting for businesses. At 28 years old, Dimitris felt like he was lacking the academic background on computer science. So -after 4 years in FORTH- he travelled to Edinburgh in order to obtain a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Msc in Interactive Multimedia. On his return, he continued working for FORTH as a developer in research projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.gr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/frank.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4074 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.gr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/frank.jpg\" alt=\"Frank\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/frank.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/frank-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/frank-144x144.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Frank<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was studying electrical engineering and in the same time, he was working as a DJ. However, he spent all his free time \u2018playing around\u2019 with technology. From a young age he was into computers and the rise of the web showed him the way to<strong> innovation.<\/strong> He was always keen on creative brainstorming and entrepreneurship. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1999, while studying, he got a job as a technician in the Research &amp; Development department of Forthnet (FORTH). Two and a half years later, as soon as he had obtained his first degree, he decided to go for one more: he also went in Edinburgh for a MSc in Distributed and Multimedia Information Systems. Following his master, he returned to Forthnet\u2019s R&amp;D, this time as a developer. There, he had the chance to collaborate in many interesting research projects and technologies. In 2004, he was part of the team that created a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/xpl\/login.jsp?reload=true&amp;tp=&amp;arnumber=1357716&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fstamp%2Fstamp.jsp%3Ftp%3D%26arnumber%3D1357716\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">communication platform <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which could have been today\u2019s twitter! The web applications\u2019 magic enchanted Frank and new ideas started growing in his head. In the meantime, he was foreseeing the internet\u2019s evolution and he obtained one more master title, an MBA in business management. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dimitris and Frank met in FORTH and <strong>shared their passion for the web<\/strong>. They talked for hours about amazing ideas that could happen online! That is why, in 2000, they joined forces and created one of the biggest online tourist guides which saw success in the local community. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.gr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/aggela.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4072 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.gr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/aggela.jpg\" alt=\"Aggela\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/aggela.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/aggela-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/aggela-144x144.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Aggela<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while studying Management in the American College, she was working as an admin for the college and the American Embassy.

In FORTH, he was in charge of monitoring networks with more than 2.500 connected computers. Soon, the two of them started collaborating and exchanging ideas on new technologies. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At 4 years old Kostas dismantled his first transistor and at 14 he created a pirate radio transmitter. He used to program using a <\/span><b>Spectrum48k<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">+ and later a <\/span><b>Commodore<\/b> <b>64<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1994, he was sharing a <\/span>19.2kbps <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">common line with 20 more users. At that time, the web didn\u2019t exist -there was <\/span>gopher, irc &amp; ftp<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Kostas made it: he managed to get connected by installing Mosaic! The first \u201chttp\u201d page he saw was an article with a picture of the acclaimed basketball player Nikos Galis! In 1996, he installed his first Linux edition. In his free time he likes playing around: with <\/span>firewalls, routers, switches and, of course, servers.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Papaki.gr, 2004: where it all begins<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dimitris, Frank and Aggela decided to connect their knowledge and open a company. Their first office was a tiny room of 9 square meters! They started building websites -the idea for domain names was not in the early business plan. They came up with a schedule so that everyone would fit in the tiny space: in the mornings, Aggela, a full time developer and a student were working and in the afternoons, Dimitris and Frank would replace them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2004, the .GR extensions became available for registration and <\/span><b>papaki.gr<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> got belatedly classified as the 85th registrar. The domain papaki.gr was registered on 19.05.2014 but the truth is that it was nearly called tzitziki.gr! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.gr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/oldHQ.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4075\" src=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.gr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/oldHQ.jpg\" alt=\"\u039d\u03ad\u03b1 \u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03b5\u03af\u03b1 - \u0397 \u03b1\u03c1\u03c7\u03ae\" width=\"454\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/oldHQ.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/oldHQ-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their true love for the internet and countless hours of dedicated work fruited: within a year they had moved in bigger offices. The need for reliable hosting led to the creation of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tophost.gr\/\"> TopHost<\/a> where Kostas took over as a Technical manager. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2005, Frank decided to quit Forthnet, besides his family and friends not understanding the decision to leave such a good company. Right away, Dimitris did the same and in 2006 the Papaki family was officially united under the same roof!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong>team kept investing in new services and people,<\/strong> hiring new programmers and support heroes. Papaki started standing out from other domain name registrars. In 2007 the Marketing department of the company was created. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>2008: the critical decision<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Papaki started blocking its own development: the website building service -which was the company\u2019s main income- was putting a brake on the implementation and expansion of new services. <strong>That is when the team came across the biggest strategical decision of its journey.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was when hundreds of website building companies popped up earning money, that Papaki chose to change direction, freezing dozens of projects. Besides the financial insecurity and the sudden drop of income, the announcement of the decision was full of positive energy: the 100% of the company\u2019s resources would be invested in the domain name registration service. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result of this strategic shift was, within a year -by 2009- Papaki had become the <strong>No1 registrar<\/strong> in Greece for .GR domain names, surpassing much bigger companies!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Today: the development and \u2018Happy.People.Online\u2019<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, 1 out of 2 domain registrations in Greece is being made through Papaki. Since 2009, it has been the No1 registrar for .GR domains and since 2011 it has also been No1 for the .EU extensions. The team keeps growing and it now counts more than 20 people!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.gr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/foto2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.gr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/foto2.jpg\" alt=\"foto2\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/foto2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/foto2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/foto2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/foto2-670x446.jpg 670w, https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/foto2-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>In 2014, Papaki changed offices.<\/strong> We moved in a spacious and cosy building that we customised according to our needs and wishes!
