History
CentralNic was founded by Stephen Dyer in 2000 as a successor organisation to NomiNation, a company which he had founded in 1995.

In August 2013 CentralNic announced that it planned to float on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. Shortly after this announcement, the Group began trading its shares on the LSE in September 2013.

In the following years CentralNic carried out several acquisitions: early in 2014 CentralNic acquired DomiNIC GmbH. That same year it announced the acquisition of retail domain name registrar Internet.BS, for US$7.5m, adding to its expanding Registrar Portfolio. In 2015 CentralNic acquired Instra Corp and quickly integrated this retail and corporate domain name registrar into its portfolio. A few years later, in 2018, CentralNic acquired the ccTLD for Slovakia (.sk) in a €26m deal.

CentralNic announced a transformative merger with KeyDrive Group on 16 July 2018, in a reverse takeover (according to AIM rules of the London Stock Exchange). After this, more acquisitions followed: on 6 September 2018 CentralNic acquired Romania and Brazil-focused registrar and domain hosting provider GlobeHosting Inc. for a consideration of €2.56 million.

2019 was a particular year with several acquisitions announced: on 20 May the Group announced its plans to acquire the leading Australian and New Zealand domain name and hosting reseller business TPP Wholesale for $24m AUD. On 1 July CentralNic acquired international domain name reseller platform Hexonet Group for up to €10 million. On 7 August CentralNic acquired international domain name retailer Ideegeo Group Ltd ("Ideegeo") for up to NZD$5.2 million (c.$3.4m USD). Then later in November CentralNic acquired Team Internet from Matomy Media for $48m.

In September 2020 it was announced that the Group would acquire the Zeropark and Voluum businesses of Polish company Codewise for $36m. The deal was completed in November 2020. Shortly after, in January 2021 CentralNic acquired French brand protection registrar Safebrands for $4.4m.

In October 2022, CentralNic acquired the California-headquartered domain name management business, Intellectual Property Management Co. Inc. for $7.6 million USD. And then in December 2022, it was announced the Group had acquired a portfolio of revenue generating niche websites from multiple sellers for $ 5.2 million USD cash.

On 4 September 2023, the rebranding of the CentralNic Group to Team Internet Group was announced during an event at the London Stock exchange to celebrate the company's 10-year IPO anniversary.
