Rob Monster

Robert W. Monster (born 1966 or 1967) is a Dutch-American technology executive. He is the founder, former chief executive officer, and former chairman of Epik, a domain registrar and web host known for providing services to websites that host far-right, and extremist content.

He has received media attention in relation to Epik, particularly surrounding his 2018 statements about Epik customer Gab, a social network known for its far-right userbase. He has also received attention for controversial statements, including some in which he has promoted various conspiracy theories.

Monster was removed as Epik CEO in September 2022, and was later sued for mishandling client funds. Epik sold to a new entity and proceeds were used to settle lawsuits and debts. Monster was later held liable for a breach of settlement in one of the cases involving Epik and was personally ordered to pay more than $349,000, with interest, in June 2025.
